[QUOTE="jpro, post: 13105472, member: 72690"] You're not alone. A recent study showed that only 56% of college graduates under the age of 25 are employed in jobs that require a college degree. 22% are unemployed and 22% are "underemployed" (working jobs that don't require a degree). Another study found that 41% of all college graduates are over-qualified for the jobs they are in...in other words, they are doing what they need to do to get by and earn a paycheck. They aren't fulfilled by their jobs. So...have you defined the job or career path that will fulfill you? If not, that is a problem. It is hard to find what you are looking for if you don't know what it is. Also, if you do know what career path will fulfill you, what have YOU done to make it happen? Take a look at this perspective: [url=http://www.slideshare.net/reidhoffman/the-3-secrets-of-highly-successful-graduates?utm_source=slideshow&utm_medium=ssemail&utm_campaign=weekly_digest]The 3 Secrets of Highly Successful Graduates[/url] Get busy, don't wallow in self-pity, it does no good. If you don't know what you want or don't know how to get what you want, seek help from qualified people who can help you. Surround yourself with people who will support you but who won't sympathize with you. Sympathy won't get you anything! Don't wait for it to happen for you...do something about it! Don't be like all these other grads who wonder aimlessly! FYI, I'm a high level administrator at a university and I hear stories like your's every day. It takes work to find what you are looking for. Nothing worth doing is ever easy, and you're only going to get out what you put in, so get busy putting in the work to make it happen. And I truly believe calculated risk is a big part of success after graduation, just like the slide show outlines. Identify what that risk is for you and swing away.
