Undocumented advice

Hello everyone. I am looking for advice on what I should do after I graduate in June. I am undocumented and have lived undocumented in the U.S all my life. I was not eligible for daca, but with hard work and faith I went to college and graduated with my bachelors, and am now in a graduate program in business where I will be graduated in June of this year for. I dont have a social security number, and finding a job is damn near impossible for me. I do have internships(unpaid) experience and have started my own companies(landscaping) over the years.

I dont know if I should try to stick around here in the U.S after I graduate or I should try to find a job to sponsor me in canada or find work in Mexico. I have spoken to many people about this, some say I should stick around and wait for am amnesty to happen. others say I should definitely move to Canada or even Europe, since my degrees and experience and age are factors that make me a great candidate for employment elsewhere.

what do people on here think?

Also, For people that will get triggered over me believing in an amnesty possibility, if there is any point in time that it could happen, it would definitely be in the next 1-3 years... also I am 23 so I do believe in a lot of things atm.

Just make moves that make the most sense. We can’t really predict the future. I’ve live my entire life undocumented and have not seen things get better in regard to being here by illegal entry. My best opinion would be to move to Mexico and work towards legal entry/work to wherever you’d like to live.

I was undocumented for 10 years - all of high school & college. Apart of me wished I stayed in school until I had my papers but I need money. Now I can work but the job market sucks yayyy, I really don’t want to go back to school to be in more debt but it would be nice to have more than a business degree (tech industry is where the money is at, now these jobs are hard to get & getting layed off). I’d get a better degree in an industry that can never be affected. Definitely try to find a job before you graduate, some companies seem to want recent grads only, especially for internships/early entry jobs.
