I am soon moving to the las vegas area and am worried that I wont be able to find a job. am I destened to a future of monotany and boredom???

when applying for a job in las vegas remember that its important to check you’re resume and cover letter for things like proper spelling and capitolization, and punctuation… that way you’re potential employer wont toss them in the trash.
A “college graduate” is someone with a college degree. You have an Associate’s degree, so you can claim to be a graduate, though on any resume, you’ll be expected to list the degree and institution. You can’t yet claim to have a Bachelor’s degree, which is more likely what someone wants.
