Today, I got my first job after having spent months looking, and graduating college in the meantime. I got it based on my pre-college qualifications. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went on my 56th job interview since graduating from college 3 months ago. I am 31 years old and I spent 11 years in college. I only graduated with a Bachelor's Degree after all those years, but I am still not qualified for anything due to how long it took me to complete my degree. FML
Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML
Today, after spending thousands of dollars and several years pursuing a higher education so I could get a high paying job doing something that requires skill and brainpower, I finally got my first job offer after months of searching. I will be cleaning houses. FML
Today, after spending 8 months and $11,000 on school, I was denied a job in my chosen career field. They told me they decided to go with someone with more experience. So who got the job? One of my classmates. This is her first job. EVER. FML
Today, my sister started a full-time job with a good pay despite having no prior work experience and being a college freshman. Meanwhile, I've graduated with two degrees, have been working two jobs for the last five years, and still can't get a full-time position anywhere. FML
Today, after spending four days having my resume, cover letter, and references proofread and perfected by professionals, I finally submitted it all to the summer internship of my dreams. I received a rejection letter ten minutes later. FML
Today, after 3 years of unemployment and 6 months of hard studying, I found out I hadn't actually registered myself for the public service exam that will happen later this month and could finally get me a job. FML
Today, I was offered a job. It only took me a year and 17 interviews to get an offer, and I have a PhD. FML
Today, I got my first job offer in over a year, a mere few days after being accepted to study for my dream career. My crippling depression won't allow me to enjoy any of it. FML
Today, I eagerly applied for a high-salary, fully supportive graduate program that I qualified for. There were 5 steps in the application process. I was turned down after the first one. FML

I guess school didn't prepare you for the real world after all!

The gist of this FML is that giving BJ's in the restroom during your high school lunch break will eventually pay off; when one of your old customers starts their own business.

So, you had a few years of avoiding being obviously unemployed while you were wasting your time and money in college. YDI for not selecting a major that's worth a shit.

A college degree is pretty much worthless on its own without some internship work to back it up. No one hires you based on a piece of paper. I know this because I interview and hire people. I also thought my degree was supposed to get me a job too when I graduated.

Because the company that you work for is the only company in the world. There are plenty of businesses that hire solely based on college degrees, not on experience.

Today has been a horrible day and I am completely overwhelmed with college and all the work and I am so close to giving up so I come on here for a laugh and this really has not made me feel more confident about my decision to be in school o_O
