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.

#46 if you have a security clearance there are a bunch of companies that will hire you for state dept. contracts. (Dyncorp, Steele foundation, blackwater, etc.) and if you can't find a job other than selling hotdogs or flipping burgers that tells me you have a lack of usefull skills, or a lack of motivation to get out there and find a job in your field. I don't have a college degree and i still have 2 awesome jobs, i'm a volenteer fire fighter and a lifeguard. so don't complain that you can't find a use for your "prestigious degree" because i have no sympathy for your lack of motivation

Man. Grab a paper. There are a ton of jobs that I am unable to get due to my lack of a college degree, and all the ones I can get are sucked up by other people in my same predicament. If you live in a city big enough to have a hot dog stand, I'm pretty sure you can find something in the paper that is related enough to your field to get a job. Quit settling for less.

You're not alone! I'm graduating in 2 weeks and I start my job at a hot dog stand tomorrow. :) Just be thankful you've found some way to pay the bills while you're still searching for that dream career.

The post-college job hunt usually takes six months to be successful. Keep your head up!
