<prompt> Human: Graduated college without any loans mixture of full ride scholarship as well as parents helping me pay for it but my major biology is useless if I dont pursue graduate studies.The thing is, Ive always wanted to have a job and work but I had strict overbearing parents that said it wont help you in life, grades will!, they had a lot of control of my life and didnt let me get a job in my adolescence. Went off to college, the pre-med curriculum was overwhelming and I spent my summer shadowing physicians or doing research. None of that matters now since I dont really want to go to med school anymore or work in the sciences long term, got pushed into it by parents. Ive always loved the idea of being independent, earning my own cash, and making it but with a biology degree Ive found it tough to get a job and have moved back home with my family, miserable here tbh.As a 23 year old who will be 24 very soon, how far behind am I financially compared to my peers in the United States?  <response>: No degree is worthless. Here on Reddit, this is a common stereotype since there are a lot of STEM majors. A bachelors in any field is enough to get started. The first step is to craft a good resume, and list any extra-cirriculars including shadowing that you did. Good grades will definitely help for your first job. After you have a good resume, start hitting the pavement. Treat finding a job AS your fulltime job, spending 30-40 hours a week passing out resumes and attempting to make connections. Thats really the best route forward, and I wish you luck.
