Today, I was offered a job. It only took me a year and 17 interviews to get an offer, and I have a PhD. FML

Well shit, I only have a Bachelor's. Looks like about four years and 302 interviews for me, assuming I can even get an interview.

PhD, 3000 applications, 10 interviews. 5 years and counting. Still working as a messenger.

You only had 17 interviews in a year? What's wrong with you?

How is this an FML, heeellllloo, NOW YOU HAVE A JOB! If you hadn't got one then it may be a FML. But now you can put that Student Loan paid for PhD to somewhat good use!

bitching about finding a job in the worst world economy on record? yup, you're going to be a valuable member of that team...maybe you should try flaunting your credentials more? that'll win 'em over!

this definitely isn't the worst recorded world economy. it's bad.. but not the worst. yeah.

this fml makes me not want to continue school !

This is one of the worse FML's I have ever herd.. Also for the fact that I am working towards one..

You would think you would have learned to spell "heard" correctly then.

nobody would hire you because they would have to pay you outrageously and you had no previous experience. (assuming)
