I'm with Omally...fuck work. University system is just a scam anyway. All that money for something you can learn with a few hours of browsing on the net, a trip to the library, and some dedication. And then what do you get for completing 4 years of study at the price of more than most peoples parents make a year...a fuckin job that pays you just enough to make you take out credit cards, a mortgage, and a car note...and then you're stuck in the rat race. Lets get free!
That's not entirely true. You learn more than knowledge at university.

Once you graduate college you can pretty much do whatever you want to... regardless of what you majored in. I know people who majored in Spanish and now work with computers... it's all what you make of it

oh and I agree with Is this you... that's why everybody talks about the "college experience." You may or may not learn a lot at college... but you're going to make contacts, make friends, and hopefully enjoy yourself
How many adults do you know that have at least once mentioned missing their college days?

I have learned most of those things. The economy sucks, there aren't enough jobs and it doesn't really matter what you major in. You'll just need to get any sort of job.

I remember when I graduated college in 2003 and the job market was losing jobs much like today. It was a bad time to look for a job but you must keep positive and know that the right job WILL come along. There are steps you can take to get you noticed in today's economic climate.
Staying positive and visualizing your success is very important. If you take some concrete steps and stay in a positive mindset you might even find your DREAM job. Visit my blog for more tips on how to get ahead.
These days, your degree is your rights of passage into the job market, similar to puberty. No puberty= not a man/woman yet...it's just gotta happen.
Having said that, I think it's helpful if people take the opportunity to explore different areas, (if it becomes available to you) and not complain so much about it being unrelated to what you obtained your degree in. Your educational background is just the basics to give you perspective and develop your mind to think in a different way- note that not all industries/professions apply the same thought process to solving problems, working out projects, meeting deadlines, etc.,which makes each field a different experience.
I think being more creative in your job search and definitely apply the habit of NOT being too picky/choosy will help you work your way through the job market maze until you find the job description you set out to obtain, or might just happen to be what you like to do best.
One thing's for sure...don't try to get a job where you obtain status but hate what you do and hate going to work everyday...This is a recipe for disaster in every way. Sometimes the fast track isn't always the best way to succeed career wise. Having many experiences and jobs can make you develop into a better person that one that goes by the book.
