Someone who graduated from the EXACT same graduate program..

Post Reply New Topic

as me got a job. Want to know what makes it worse? She's only graduating this month, yet I graduated a YEAR ago and I still have nothing.

Really makes me want to kill myself. Anyone else have experiences like this?

College schmollege, I got a job out of high school.

Believe me, I wish I had never gone, but it still ticks me off that someone who got a master's in the same thing from the same school as me has a job even though she's only graduating this month and I graduated a friggin' year ago.

What was your field of study?

College is a ridiculous scam designed to get your money. If the unemployment rate is at 10%, and the rate of graduation is 50%...where are all the rest of the jobs going?

I am happy that my doctor went to college and also my lawyer. I do however have friends that work retail and have degrees.

Maybe she had a better GPA, more connections, or "experience" ? But yeah, either way, college is a scam. I'm having a very hard time at the moment trying to correct my mistake...

It is virtually always about the connections.

I'm pretty sure GPA doesn't matter for s**t (unless maybe you went to an Ivy League School). I had a 3.6 in undergrad and a 3.7 in grad.....has never helped me once.

At least I didn't pay for my college education (was awarded tuition waivers for both schools)....just wasted a lot of time on it.
