A degree from a reputable school in the U.S pulls more weight than a degree from an emerging nation. In my opinion, the best option would be to take advantage of programs to study abroad for a semester or two at a good university in the U.S. That way, you can still earn credits travelling the world with a degree that is recognized internationally.
I dunno man. I know plenty of people who have "a degree from a reputable school in the U.S." who are unemployed. I think that era is long gone... and trust me it can't totally be attributed to laziness and people not looking for jobs. There are tons of people floating around with useless Bachelor's degrees.
Unless you go to Harvard or Stanford, you're not really gonna stand out. Just another resume for an employer to wipe their ass with.
