I'm beginning to become very discouraged. I'm starting to dwell on the fact that I've been in college for 7.5 years working on degrees that apparently have no effect on my ability to find a job. I really believed that I'd have at least 1 offer by now. I've given up on being picky and really am willing to take just about whatever someone will give me so that I can get my foot in the door. At the rate I'm going it looks like come May, I'm going to be working retail somewhere. I should work at Walmart. I hate that place. It will be just like where I am now. I've been looking for 9 months now. I've had 2 or 3 interviews and spoke with several recruiters who offer me the advice of "hanging in there" and "just keep applying". Lovely. Any pre-college kiddos reading this...word of advice: Go get a 2 year degree doing something in the medical field. DO NOT...I repeat...DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GETTING A 4 YEAR DEGREE AND END UP IN GRAD SCHOOL. Unless you desire to become a college professor (In that case, I assume you are a crazy masochist), heed my warning. I regret my decision to go to grad school. The only comfort I have is that I haven't had to take out any loans for this. It's just not worth it.
