Default Engineering Job before going to Airlines

Hello everyone, a little background first.

I am 24 y/o holding a bachelors degree in Civil Engineering from India and came to the states for my Airline Pilot Training. I am doing my training in Jersey due to some reasons from a local FBO. The weather is the biggest factor for my slow progress and so far have logged 45hrs in past 6 months. I hold a Green Card so the working in the States might not be a problem ( unless, otherwise...).

While my PPL is in progress, I tried looking for jobs related to my major, but with no luck. May be because of the less credibility of my Indian Degree.

So, apart from my flying lessons, I feel I am wasting time doing odd jobs and not advancing in my field of interests hence, I am planning to do masters in Civil or Computer Science (ya, might change field) in the meantime, and as fast as I could. Do some real job for few years and then go for Airlines.

Is the plan viable and sounds good? with the current hiring boom, I don't want to be left behind but also my training is going to take a while.

Any help is appreciated, on topic or off topic.

Thank you.
