Honestly unless there were medical issues in the way or emergencies that somehow took several years, I don’t really know what else to say. They shouldn’t discriminate based on the length of time jt took to complete your degree, esp. if there was a serious reason or financial explanations, but if there weren’t, that’s kinda on you

I know the sentiment... After finishing 4 degrees I wasn't able to find a job. Just last week I got recruited for a job! So, keep hope:)

Why did it take you that long? What the heck were you doing?

my loooovin'...

getting a job is tougher than a degree you will go through maybe a hundred applications and interviews .. than get a job and just mention year of graduating ONLY on your cv... not when you joined college and dont talk about your 11 yr long degree journey unless asked emphasize more on your skillset rather than education on your CV

I feel your pain. I spent all this time in college to become a teacher. Even after my Master's, I was still unable to get a teaching job.

I find 56 interviews is 3 months highly unlikely. Maybe 56 applications submitted if you were applying to all the help wanted signs you saw in the window, but not 56 interviews. I would say you might want to apply to some other sort of field or find some training on how to conduct an interview if no offers have arrived after 56 interviews m. Sometimes it takes a while to graduate. I’m a civil engineer and most of us were averaging 5-7 years to graduate what was supposed to be a 4 year program. If you lived on campus and didn’t have a job you could pull it off in 5. Otherwise it would take 6-7.

To the idiots that don't understand that just because your life has made it possible, doesn't mean it should be for everybody: Some people can't live at home while going to school so they have to work full time/multiple jobs to just get by. Plus, it takes a minimum of 4 years if you go full time (15 credit hours per semester, spring and fall) which can be a lot depending on what you're in school for. Some courses take an insane amount of work and studying to the point that someone who works at all can't feasibly complete 15 credit hours of very challenging courses on top of iternships/any other aspect of life. Others also have family to take care of and devote a lot of time to that. Point is, things aren't always easy and straightforward so give OP a break. He/she/they/whatever's not offensive didn't give up, despite the fact that it took so long. That's something to be admired.

As a person who took 6 years to get an AA I understand. Sh*t happens sometimes. For me, it was a medical condition I have been dealing with for my whole life. And it's this condition that stops me from keeping a job longer than 6 months. My advice, don't give up. You didn't on your Bachelor's, don't let it stop you from getting a job.

11 years of Mommy and Daddy paying the bills is my guess, once they cut you off you miraculously graduated!!
