COLLEGE IS A JOKE! I WANT A REFUND!!! I graduated college and it has not done anything for me. NOBODY should have a degree and be unemployed?
When is America going to wake up! Something needs to be done. I had a 3.7 GPA in college with a BS then I switched to a BA, and I can't even get a job making 12 dollars an hour. I am 25 and don't have any money.

Without knowing your major we cannot give you any proper answers. But realize that 80% of BA degrees are for personal enrichment and were never meant to lead to employment. You may have taken one of the majors that is meant to turn you into a web educated person before you start at the family business.
That you may not have checked to see how employable your major was before taking it is a serious mistake that many young people make.
Consider going to the web site of one of the railroads. Look at the careers page for railroad crew jobs. They pay you while training and most people they hire make $43,000 on average their first year. Pay after 15 years is close to $100K.

Kevin, what degree did you get? If you got a career training degree, it would have prepared you for a job. Anything other than that (i.e. liberal arts degree, also known as "self improvement" degree), it's very hard to get anything beyond entry level job in an office.

As I thought. I looked at another one of your question, you have BA in History. Even a doctorate in history still can't find job.
You can get a teaching certificate and teach junior high or high school students.
Had you done any internship with a non-profit organization in the summer, it would have opened up a few doors for you. Did you?
Like I said, the problem is the degree you have was not something you fully considered when you went into it.
You truly have my sympathy.

I'm in high school and want to go into computer science. Do you think college is worth it for me? I feel like without college i have no chance to be successful in life.

you should try volunteering at a museum, even if you aren't paid it will be a good experience for you and when a job opens up there you will be one of the first people they would consider. I volunteered at a museum and everyone there had history degrees.
