How does a degree from the US translate to the UK


How does a degree from the US translate to the UK?
I am on the verge of graduating and am toying with the idea of working or attending graduate school in the UK. What do employers and universities think about American degrees? I'm an American citizen, why would it be hard for me to get a permit to work in the UK?

First, are you an American or British citizen? If American, it may be difficult to get a work visa to live in the UK. From my experience, American degrees are respected as long as they come from reputable schools and the person has a decent GPA. Many UK jobs ask for a candidate's GPA, which doesn't happen in the States as far as I know.
