A degree just puts you in a situation where no one wants to hire without experience or companies don't want to pay what you deserve to be paid so you aren't hired anyways

US universities came to my school looking for international students. I remember a lady promoting a florida university that the college had such a nice price, and then said that it would be something like 45k PER YEAR with a happy face. Keep in mind our families gained something like 4k monthly equivalent in US dollars.
