UK/USA Immigration Exchange?

My question is why is it so flippin hard to get a visa to work in the UK if you're American?? I have a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies AND a BA in Communication with a certificate in Marketing and have lived and studied in the UK as a student but once I graduated they will only let migrant workers and commonwealth citizens in?? (Other than working for a company for 5 years waiting for a transfer).
Additional Details
I had to leave my bf behind when I came back to the states from going to school in UK and we broke up because I had to come back but we kept talking thinking somehow I'd find a way back but in the end it ruined us so we just recently stopped being friends as well - just too hard and we can't even be closer to see if anything more is an option (not going to subscribe to the good old get married to get citizenship recipe).

celtic_s makes a good point. It is not easy for a Brit to get a work visa in the US either. A lot depends on how badly a company wants to hire you.

As I understand things, it's not simply a case of signing my name on a piece of paper if I wish to work in the USA.

In answer to your question, I have no idea.

on the flipside i have the same problem ive been looking to move over to the us from the uk for a long while now and it seems if your not a brain surgeon or you dont a six figure sum every year then its rather difficult.good luck in the future hope everything works out.

Your story is so sad, and you are being treated so unfairly.
Britain has allowed herself to be flooded with immigrant's legal and ill eagle, to the point that Britain is bursting at the seems with problem's.
Even the true Brit's are not getting the care and attention they deserve, they are at the end of a very big line, of ie: radical extremist Muslim's, who are mobbing and rioting in the street's, screaming and yelling, death to the British and American soldier's, and amazingly they seem to take priority over our, school leaver's and our old folk's, homeless, ect, ect, ect, who are crying out for help, and there doesn't seem to be any in sight for the near future. France is mostly to blame for the problem's in the UK, because for years and years they have turned a blind eye to all the ill eagles, thousand's and thousand's of them who flood through the channel tunnel every day.
It's the same scenario that is happening here in America, with the Mexican border, and to some extent the Canadian border.
Both our government's have their heads up their @$$e$, and they need to get these problem's sorted ASAP.
The mind certainley does boggle, as to, what the hell is going on????.
