just wondering if there are any out there who have finished with college (bachelors degree or higher). What are you doing now and what are your options?

I'm finished. Currently working as an English/SAT tutor. Waiting for a visa to become available so that I can eventually adjust status (6 year wait).

Yup I'm done with my B.A. I'm currently attending grad school. Life has been good to me, and I've been good to life...

I'm in my second year of grad school. I did take two years off between getting my BS and going to grad school (waiting for DREAM to pass). My parents have a large savings, so they are paying for most of it; and I will pay them back when I can. I was offered for a GA-ship from two different schools but unfortunately they were government funded research/ stipends that I could not take.

Like Swim, I took almost 2 years "off" between gettin my BS and grad school... The reason for the quotes is cuz I got a certificate in that time. I received a stipend, but then I had to decline it because they needed legal docs. Thankfully, my aunt pays for my school. I'll be graduating in May and when I'm able to, I'll pay my aunt back. (Geez I feel like Swim's twin )

Same here, got offered several TA and RA positions and several stand-alone grants and stipends, all state, military, or federally funded. Even private schools wouldn't give me a grant, because tuition stipends in most cases are covered in part by NSF or NIST or ONR or DOE or DOD or USMC ....whatever other federal, state, or military agency there is. Some admission committees are understanding and morally supportive but their hands are tied by the federal and state regulations. Others pick like 1 undocummented student for posterity and if a great wealth private school accepts 15 people all together, being that one undocummented student among all the other minorities/special cases that that they accept that year is virtually impossible.
