B.S. ain't worth **** in 2015. Might as well as never have gone to school.

Go back and get your M.S. degree. You aren't getting a job anyway, so might as well make the investment in your future.

P.S. I tell my kids the same thing, and they tell me the same thing: tired of school. Hey, so was I back in the day, I get it. But the problem is, 35 years ago, I could get a job with a B.A. It just isn't happening with that kind of frequency these days.

Depends on the degree... Engineering does have seem to have TOO much trouble with just a BS... At least judging by all the others I have know, bs generally seems like a job in a month or two with ~50K start... I guess I get to find out now, lol.
 
You're what, in you're early 20s? 2-3 years in grad school is not that bad. Make new friends and connections and pad your resume. Be glad you're not like me and have to be in college for 8 years + 5 years of training.

Like Ron said, bachelors degrees are pretty much meaningless. The equivalent of a high school diploma a couple decades ago.

Well, good luck to you however you move forward. My fianceé's daughter just got a job with a large accounting firm but her GPA is through the roof. She starts work next summer after she graduates. But she is the only one I know that received an offer fast. A lot of grads out there are struggling to find jobs 2 to 3 years down the line. Pretty scary from what I've seen.

From all I have seen, Accounting, Business, ect... Hugely different stories.
I don't know anyone with engineering degree who hasn't found a job. Lets see if I can be the first *crosses fingers*

lol :D
Hoping I wont need TOO much. Jobs definitely seem to be out there, and getting a masters is much less common in most engineering disciplines then most.
 
Accounting seems to never have trouble finding work, I have never had trouble, B.S. in accounting, then my career really took off.

Also most entry level JR accountant positions, are non degree, and the company will train you. That's provided you are not a total screw up, also can solve basic math.

It's a little alarming, that a good majority of younger folks today, struggle with basic math.
