Yeah dude, I started looking for some new jobs today and will continue to do so. Let's see how much this sh*tty uni degree is really worth

Masters degree or you're Moderator cut: language in Sweden. Having said that: without a bachelor you're going nowhere either. The "uneducated jobs" market is way larger in Australia than here which is why Sydney is invaded by Swedish drunk youngsters

I can't even finish normal degree let alone doing master degree.

But I know that even if I finish normal degree, there will be no jobs except cleaning the toilets.

I have no intention of doing master degree. Only finishing my univeristy. Normal degree.

I regret that I choosed chemistry. It is so difficult.

I've heard reports that you were going to build an igloo in Binghampton from which you'd run the largest Latina-dating website in the world?

What a stunning shock this turned out to be then

The problem with a lot of jobs nowadays, at least here in the U.S., is that they're exclusively looking for people with 900 years of experience, making it especially tough for recent college grads to find jobs. Companies are getting too lazy for training new employees and don't understand that someone can't get experience if no one hires them. Makes me wonder if finishing my degree is even worth it. Sometimes I feel like I should just do a trade (like mechanic, electrician, etc) since that seems to be more practical and doesn't require 600 years of experience, plus many more job openings in those type of fields.

Identical situation in Australia. Unless you know someone, are lucky enough to be born into a well-off family, have family/friend connections , you are going to be on unemployment. The $15,000 signed paper and the graduate cap are worth less than a bag of frozen fries from the supermarket freezer. Hindsight as always is 20/20

Honestly dude, if you can quit uni without financial penalty, I'd do it if I were you, and do your Uber driving while you think about what you really want and how to achieve gainful employment with it. If only I can be 18 again....

Hell, the Uber sounds like a sweet gig, good pay, you set your hours, out on the road, not stuck in one place being analysed every second. Just keep doing that man.
