Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

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

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.

please tell me that you dont think people should just be beating down your door asking to hire you just because you went to a prestigious university. i'm sorry, but the tone of your post sounds like you think you should have a good job just handed to you.

Welcome to 2009, you don't just get handed a job cause you graduated.

#23, that is presumptuous. I followed my own interests and paid my own way for a degree in Ancient Civilizations instead of something easy or practical. I was fortunate to be able to go back for a master's in library science so I can work with classical archives, but still. OP, this is not a FYL or YDI. You found a job. You got the job. You might deserve it for not getting a better internship, or grades, etc., but you have an easy way to make money while you look for something better.

I work in the IT field, and sometimes I feel like that the past seven years of my life was a complete waste.

I know a guy that has a PhD in Astrophysics and can't find a job significantly higher than minimum wage. :D
