Hi guys,

I found a part-time job thats is not related to my major and my education level. OPT requires students to meet those conditions. I graduated with MS in Physics. The part-time job I found is at an education center and does not require a Masters degree. Its a turoring job which will pay me $45/hour, I think its a good opportunnity but I am not sure if I can take it under OPT rule.
 
at the international student office the lady told me not to worry about it, she said they don't check whether you worked in your major field or not. She said the only problem I can have is if I work beyond my OPT expiration date, which would be considered illegal. have you guys had similar experience
