i just graduated from college in May with a business degree and i'm so depressed. I do not know what to do with my life. First of all because i'm not eligible to work legally in the US, right now is almost impossible to fix my status in this country. Going back to my country, seemed like a tempting option at the beginning but after doing research about the cost of living and the salaries for the positions i could apply for i changed my mind. I could make more money here just by working at a fast food restaurant. What should i do????????? Help please!!!!!! I would also like to get my MBA but it is way too expensive and i need some experience :'( is this a normal feeling?

    You graduated congrats. I am a 25 y.o grad in your EXACT position. I didn't know what to do. So I did what my father told me to do in "panicky" situations, nothing. Eventually I started picking up hobbies would write down my whole day in 15 min in a journal I kept. After about 6 mos. I read back every entry I written and noticed a particular hobby I spent my rime on the most. Afterwards I did research for about another 9 mos. (And the start of a little encouragement to look for work) I started my own business doing the hobbies I like to do. I may not be a citizen of the U.S but I have enough money I can buy the American Dream...

    You just need to slow down right about now your life is depending on these moments that you build up to all these expectations are a bit overwhelming, my advise would be to just do some sould searching.

    I'm set to graduate in a semester (on top of facing the whole, 'to move back to home nation, or not' panic), so I'm starting to understand that feeling.

    Chin up and look into other ideas. If all else fails, try your hand with vol work and go from there.
