We all have to start somewhere. Maybe you don't have a job because you expect the world to hand everything to you on a silver platter because of your EXPENSIVE degree as you were so quick to point out.

Wow, you need a job and this one's beneath you? Grow up. Your degree doesn't mean you are entitled to a job.

YDI for not getting into a top ten school. Then you could be driving a bus.

You guys are either all in high school or bitter adults who never went to college. In the real world, you go through 4-8 years of (sometimes very expensive) schooling to learn a profession, which you plan to enter after graduation. Its not "whiny" to prepare and expect a white collar job after all this time and money invested in pursuing it. People don't drop 50-200k on college just to work at Walmart after. There are these things called "student loans" a lot of us will need to pay back. The people saying "get over it why do you want everything" are either still living with mommy and daddy and don't know anything about the professional world, or stayed at the local Burger King while all their classmates went on to college and better lives. Its funny how you all think the OP is an elitist whiner because he would like a profession in the field he has been studying for years. How pompous of him!

People who would take a school crossing guard job have no hope of working towards a real career, so they just grab what they can. For a bright recent graduate, the long term value of doing something serious with their time exceeds what they could earn at minimum wage. They would be better off in the long run doing volunteer work, or independent research or product development, where they get to practice some useful skill that will allow them to earn a real income at an earlier point in time.

It always takes time to enter a job market. Goes double (triple...) in a recession. And if you can make some cash in the interval, it's a good idea. It's elitist to think that plonking down money for an education entitles an individual to an immediate career. AH! I JUST BIT!

I went to Uni and have given up on finding a job for my qualifications in this day and age. I haven't lived 'with Mummy and Daddy' for 10 years! Don't make assumptions. I have been looking for work since my last job-thats about 8 months. I have either been told Im over qualified for 'this' position' or 'the position has been filled' Do you have any idea how SHIT it feels when you cant get work! Its not just me. #17 you are probably someone who has never had trouble getting work. Try living in the real world now-Just because you have a steady stable job-obviously-otherwise you would have a problem with this man. I would take almost anything that came along now! Maybe I made a mistake reading FML today! I wasnt accepted for yet ANOTHER JOB so FML!

With those credentials, you ought to hold out for Lunch Lady.

so what? three months ago i was a marine sniper, today im an armed security guard. **** you mr degree
