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, 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

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

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.

Yeah, that sucks. The economy really needs help. A few of my friends are graduating this year, and they're all a little worried about what's going to happen next.

I graduated a year ago from a prestigious university with 2 degrees and am still looking for something other than retail. This one hit home. *sobs* Don't feel bad though. At least you have something! Some of my friends are still jobless period. Good luck!

That's okay. I'll probably be working at the Stop & Shop across from you.

liberal arts degrees are worthless unless you become a teacher or something. Applied sciences are where all the jobs are at.

I can't believe all the people here who are saying you asked for it by majoring in something "useless." News flash: we're in a major recession, and even the most qualified, educated people are having a hard time finding jobs. I feel for the OP. Good luck with the job hunt.

Be happy you at least have a job. Many people are unemployed right now and would be more than happy to work at a hot dog stand if it meant some income.

Welcome to the second Great Depression, courtesy of greedy politicians and selfish constituents.

Do like everyone else. Go to law school. (I'd advise a cheap one, though)

Keep your chin up, working at a hot dog stand doesn't mean the end of it. The degree will be around if a job offer comes around, and what you're facing is the slight me many. :) Stay strong, and learn from the experience.
