Summary:: Masters in aerospace in countries which allow jobs and career path in the same country

I'm entering 4th year of my undergrad in mechanical engineering from India and my interest has always been in rockets and propulsion technology. I want to pursue masters in aerospace from US university but from what I've researched, it's hard to find jobs in aerospace industry if I'm a non citizen. If I do my post graduation from US will I be able to get jobs in other countries?

Are there any countries which do not have strict rules as US for aerospace jobs who provide good opportunities to learn and work in the space sector?I've gone through numerous blogs and forums and I always hear that US is the best option for post grad but it seems that European countries also have a lot of opportunities in this industry. How do I make a well informed decision?
