Hi,
To be blunt, it's very very hard to get into the US even if you do have an advanced degree and skills that are in high demand (i.e. lawyer, engineer, etc). The quickest and easiest route is to marry an American (you may think we're joking but we're not).
Anyway, take a look at the wiki and if you have other questions let us know. But until you get that step out of the way it's probably not going to happen and you can consider Canada, which is kind of like a Diet and Decaf version of the US.

Just so we know and don't just the ball on vital information like some other muppet the other day, you wouldn't have $.5-1.5M in the bank? That would make a difference to your chances.
As does your age, if your able to do a bunac thing for a short term stay, also to come and study.
