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.

Seeeriously that's what this economy is doing. People who had Masters Degrees are being forced to work at markets. Scares me.

I'm a Religion and Philosophy major. Hope your hot dog stand has an opening for me when I graduate in May '10.

#7 - #3 is right. A university education now is what a high school education was to our parents. It's becoming the minimum that you need to find a career. Now it's becoming the standard to have higher education. OP - If you majored in Biochemistry or Engineering or something, then that really sucks. If you majored in English Literature, then you asked for it.
