How do I cope with this? All my friends have been working for a few years now, and my peers are all way younger than me. It most probably wasnt even worth it, having more than 2 degrees is useless.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm an even bigger loser than you. I've spent an eternity in college as well and I'm not even a junior yet. I'm also older than you. I did get my first job a lot younger, but never for very long and went many years without work, so I was basically unemployed until age 29. Even if I get my degree at this point (electrical engineering), I really don't think anyone would hire me. I just figure that without one, I am absolutely 100% fucked, whereas with one, at least I have something, anything, to fall back on.

As an employer I would personally pick an older candidate, assuming the qualification and skill base are of relatively equal merit, that has actually had a job or some other responsibilities than a student who has lived with his parents and hasn't had any real responsibilities.

It's not exactly the same qualifications if the older candidate has had a job.
Also, you're forgetting that you can squeeze more work out of the younger candidate since they'll still have life in them from not working, and will be desperate to be a good employee.

But whatever, the thing is that I know many people who are 22 who have had much, much tougher lives than those who are 30, even if those 30 year olds have had jobs, they have not had the same burden of responsibilities or life struggles.
