Alone.

Graduating next semester with a B.S. degree, with a so-called "worthless degree". I am terrified. I don't know what to do with my life. I know my degree isn't that marketable. I don't have friends. My brother and my cousin both are nurse's, and damn, I am so envious because they have great salary/benefits, and travel, SOs, etc. All of my so-called "friends" from H.S. have great lucrative careers, and I feel incredibly behind. Just a vent . Just alone. I feel like I am the only one out there who doesn't have anything figured out and it makes me sad. I feel like I am "wasting the prime of my years" because I am depressed and it makes me feel guilty. I'm trying so hard to make things work, and I don't know. It hurts. I feel like everyone else around me is succeeding and I am not. Sorry if this sounds trivial, but it hurts to know how much I feel stuck.

You can use your BS degree to further your education and become a nurse if that’s what you want. My husband had BS first and then added nursing degree to it. Sure it’s more schooling but if you want to be a nurse you certainly can go for it

Dont think you have a worthless degree. I have an Eng Lit degree and have been on disability. I'd like to go back to school. Look at your degree as a stepping stone. My BF graduated with a fine arts/ communications degree. He went for his masters and is a tenured professor in NYC and writes plays now.

Plenty of people on Wall Street and at big companies with English and History degrees. Good companies hire the person, not the degree.

I can relate, @NeedHelp104! That is one of my biggest fears as well! Try not to give up. Perhaps it is true that it is easier to work with some Degrees than with others, but I do not believe that any Degree is useless. Try to make the most out of it. What have you got to lose? If it doesn't work out, you can consider other options. However, give it a try first. What Job would you like to do right now? I am wishing You the BEST of Luck! I am sure you'll find something sooner or later! Also try not to compare yourself to others. Everyone follows different paths in Life. It doesn't mean that YOUR Path is inferior and besides, you don't know for sure what those people are sacrificing to obtain their goals. Perhaps there are some disadvantages about their Jobs that you aren't aware of right now. In any case, focus on Yourself as much as you can! You can do this! Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @NeedHelp104, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!

I felt very similarly after I graduated from undergrad with a degree in French. But I went on to get a Master's and now have a pretty good job. I agree with Mickey. Don't compare yourself to others. You will find your own way.

I am not going to lie..for about my first 10 years after graduation I struggled to get decent work. But here is something strange... when you reach a certain age, people just impute knowledge to you and want to pay you more. You don't have to be a success from day one.

If I were to do it all again, when I graduated from college I would have travelled AND then, started my own business. There is nothing to lose when you first graduate.

Why did you study for a BS degree instead of "great lucrative one" I am genuinely curious. if you wanted one like nursing why did you not go for that?. Also if one only goes to nursing for the salary and benefits...i just hope i do not meet them if i am in hospital
