Almost certainly, but you never know until you're in the USA.

Make sure you have proof of your intent to return to your country, and
proof of ties to your country.
To quote, "what we are looking for, is a reason you will be returning
to your home country. A return ticket by itself is not sufficient
proof of return. Proof of employment and residence are recommended."
Last time I went to the US, I had a one way ticket and no employment
(I'm leaving Canada for a while, so I won't get hired until I return).
My proof was owning property in Canada which both me and my spouse
were listed, proof my spouse's income was sufficent to support me, and
proof of my plane ticket out of Canada (which was 3 weeks from the
time I sought entry to the US, just wanted to vacation there before I
fly abroad). I also had proof that I paid for the plane ticket myself,
and most people dont' spend $1500 on airfare if they're not really
going... non-refundable, no changes/cancellations allowed.
Between those three things, the fact that I had no employment and no
return ticket became immaterial. I've known of people who were refused
who had a return ticket, so that in itself doesn't mean the traveller
will leave.
Bring your proof, you might need it if asked. Then you should be fine.
Also if you support yourself by any way other than regular job, be
prepared to show proof. when I had a job, I had more problems than
without. Without a job, I can prove my spouse supports me, with a job,
it always looked like I could barely afford to support myself. Guess I
should have proven both in the past, might have saved me some trouble.
