Travelling Unemployed to US

Glacier

I'm from Ireland and am planning about a month long trip visiting different cities in the US. I know they sometimes ask at immigration what you do for a living. I just dropped out of college and am not working at the moment. Could this be a problem? Once they holiday is planned & booked, I have proof of where I'm staying and a return ticket. I don't have a criminal record or anything and visited the United States before when I was 15. Do you think I would have any problems?
Thank You

just don't tell them you dropped out of college? they're hardly going to ring and check up

So if they asked what I do for a living I should just say Student. They won't ask for student card or anything. I heard from people who have recently been to the United States that when you book the holiday they sometimes take a photocopy of your passport. Does this mean that they already check you out before you go?

Don't worry. Tell them you are a student if they ask (I never have been asked and have been over around 7 times before). They don't really care. Someone from Ireland with a return ticket is not someone that they are too watchful of to be honest.

You'll be probably fine. I was never asked and lost count the number of times I have criss crossed the Atlantic. Tell them you are student and as long as you have the return ticket as mentioned then you should be fine.

When I went, I was asked what I did and I said student, they then asked me what I was studying and where, then let me though. (of course I am a student, I didn't just tell them that!)
