No shit your friends from broke-ass third world countries are ignorant. I'm not interested in living there or here.
My skills and degree are both useful but an undergraduate degree doesn't mean shit no matter what it is. Even less from a US institution, though I am lucky enough to have a big name on mine. I'm not willing to wade deeper into US debt enslavement to get a Ph.D here, so I have the less simple task of supporting myself in a foreign country with a BS.
I'll probably be going the exchange english teaching route anyway, humiliating though it is to be lumped in with people who jerked off in libarts for 4 years, for use as a springboard to Ph.D. It's going to set me back a couple of years, but I suppose I'll make them back in saved trouble by researching in a country where biological research isn't a constant political struggle.
