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

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, 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

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

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

Should have gone with a real major. Forget blaming it on the economy, there are jobs available if you have a useful degree.

Why do people keep telling the OP they got a useless degree? The OP doesn't even say what their degree was in. Seriously, the assumption levels and domino effects in FML comments are often more interesting than the stories themselves.

Well... you probably didn't try hard enough. There are good jobs to be had. A smart high school kid can get a better job than that.

Clearly it wasn't that prestigious or you'd know how to use commas correctly.

Don't worry, you put in the hard work and it will pay off eventually.

I feel your pain. I'm graduating from the most prestigious university in Canada in a month in engineering and only about 10% of my classmates have found jobs so far.

only way that happens is if you pick a bs BS like psych or, even better, art. a worthless degree from whatever prestigious university you went to is still worthless. go back and do something real.
