Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Same thing different taste
Today, it's been exactly 2 years since I graduated college. I make less money in my full-time job now than I did working part-time in college. FML
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
Today, I found out that the girl I tutored in high school in basic ENGLISH just received her PhD in Biophysics. I am now the manager of a McDonald's. I was also the Valedictorian of our graduating class. FML
By the book
Today, I was fired from my catering job for pointing out the unsafe food conditions. I'm studying food safety in college. FML
My life is average
Today, as a single, 24-year old college graduate working temp jobs outside his field, the only thing I look forward to in my day is what I get to eat for dinner. FML
Today, is the day I graduate. Today is the day I have explosive diarrhea and I haven't moved far from the toilet since I woke up this morning. FML
Heaven knows I'm miserable now
Today, I got hired and now I have to work. FML
Now hiring
Today, it's my first day as the boss, after waiting months for this promotion. Today is also the day my replacement, who I trained for three months, quit. Now I've got two jobs for the price of one. FML
Desperate nan
Today, I graduated from college with two undergrad degrees in biochem and wildlife biology, with high distinction. My mom told me she had found me a job at a petting zoo. I thought she was joking. She then said sternly, "I want grandkids. At least you will meet girls there." FML
Today, I started an awesome job with competitive pay. I also found out that the place is closing its doors in June. FML

I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up doing something like this with my new shiny Bachelor's degree, too.

to #125, same here. BA in psychology from one of the top 10 colleges on the US news and world report rankings for 2009, 3.8 general GPA, 3.97 major GPA, 2 psychology internships, research with three different professors, honors thesis project running my own study... no post-graduation employment so far. Anyone who is going to college for the degree or the grades is misguided; getting an undergrad degree is really just telling employers you might not be an idiot. They need to see that you have skills. And while getting a degree in engineering, bio-medical engineering, bio, statistics, or economics may be a little wiser, those degrees STILL won't necessarily help you to get a job; you still won't have any skills with just a silly degree. Work experience is really the most important thing. What I did during the SUMMERS when I wasn't enrolled in classes is getting me the most attention during my few (and unfruitful) job interviews. I recommend that anyone who knows they have brains just skip the whole college thing and search human resource departments at universities and start making copies (no salary) for professors you think you might like. Use library resources like JSTOR, pubmed, sciencedirect, etc. to get an actual education. In four years of doing that, you'll learn more and demonstrate more value than anything you could possibly do for four years at an ivy league. And you'll save thousands and thousands of dollars.

The comma isn't his/her fault. That's the format when you submit your FML.

:/ Serious my friend told me to go work at starbucks or at the mall. I'm graduating this fall...from a sucky university with a psychology degree...sooo don't worry...I think a lot of people are going to be working at crappy jobs right out of college. Unless they know lots of rich people :P

Poetic justice at its finest. College is such a flawed system.

No offense...but the people who keep on saying liberal arts majors are worthless are seriously ignorant. I’ve met bio majors who take on jobs after graduation in fields that remotely have no affiliation with science. I will admit that finding jobs with just a b.a. or b.s. nowadays is hard. That's why anyone who wants to make a decent living should get an M.A. MBA or PhD and just quit your bitching. What do you expect...the bachelor's degree in this day and age is overrated (the education standard has gone up). If you want better pay then go back to school and quit your bitching and moaning. And don't say money is an issue, if you want something that bad you'll attain it, even if you have to take out loans or bust your asses trying to get scholarships and grants. By the way I am an Art History Major and Spanish major, and I was able to get an internship and a 14 hour job...and I haven’t even graduated. If I had listened to all those ignorant ideals that a science major is the sure way to go...id still be stuck in the Science College in my university majoring in Biology, and feeling completely and totally miserable. So suck it! And OP you’ll be fine, just fix your resume and see what job you can land. If not reconsider going back to school.
