What are you doing now..? Haha

I'm just really curious on what you do after your done with college and you don't have SSN

Do you just get a job at minimum wage.. or can you continue to work with fake papers..?

I have a Bachelor's in Psychology and I am rotting away as a receptionist.

If there's one thing I learned from being undocumented it's that nothing comes easy but at the same time you shouldn't get weak or lazy because everything is harder.

I graduated less than a year ago from a private university with a double major plus minor and all on a full ride (which in itself was a whole lot of work to get). Went into the entrepreneur game in the middle of it and continue to do so today. I do the kind of work that many citizens wish they could do. For the protection of my interests I wont go too much into it but I'm doing good in a cool/trendy market.

To be honest, even if I was legal, I didn't really learn anything worthwhile in college (Not to say that you should give up on college, because you shouldn't!! just saying that you should prepare yourself in every way possible). My first business was basically me doing everything and a partner just helping with random stuff I didn't want to do. But to be real, like I said earlier, it ain't, wasn't and still ain't all easy (but hopefully soon it will be ).

Went through some rough patches but I just didn't give up. Just letting all of you all know that it's possible to make things work.

After graduating with a BS in Business Marketing, I worked at an ad agency. I dont have a ssn so I first started off as an intern with no pay then after 3 months.. they started to pay me. But later they kind of got freaked out I guess, so we had a mutual agreement to let me go. Then I didnt have a job for a while because it is so hard to find a job with your position and your status. I finally got a job at a law firm, they were very sympathetic about my situation. Then got laid off again because business was so damn slow. Now I am looking for another job. HOpefully, someone will be willing to hire me despite my status. Ahh my life sucks.
