Versus,
Unfortunately many students and grads that are on work visas (F-1, H1-B or the like) are hitting a brick wall. Many employers do not feel that they need to go through the trouble. I know, the cost is on your shoulders but many employers lost many of their experienced employees that were on visas after 9/11. It have become VERY difficult to get H1-B's renewed.
I advise students and grads to contact their embassy and/or consult to obtain a list of companies from your home country that do business in the US and US companies that do business in your home country. They are much more likely to hire you and be able to use any language skills you might have.
If you do take the position as a stockbroker give it all your effort and start networking to try to eventually get into the research side of things. But be sure that is possible. Many stockbrokers are purely sales people and there is no analysis or "advising" so do your research.
Happy Hunting!

CollegeCareerAdvisor,
Thanks for your advice. I'm trying my luck at internships...even if they are unpaid. At least, I'll get the experience.
Thx.
