Any of you graduated and doing something with your degree? I find that it has not helped much with my job search. Perhaps, others had better luck?

Just wondering...since many of us go to college but the end road is still pretty hopeless.

Nope. I've been unemployed since I graduated last spring. It's quite depressing. BS in chemistry if that matters to you. You can't really look for a job 'cept for under the table I suppose but I don't even know how to acquire those...

If push comes to shove, you can use your degree in other country as long they are accredited.

But that's a tough decision you have to make.

Is it even possible to apply as an undergraduate abroad? I have been getting tons of emails from Richmond University in London.

For getting a job directly related to the degree, No.

For prestige, Yes.
People do tend to treat you better when they know that you have a college degree.
