Today, it's been exactly 2 years since I graduated college. I make less money in my full-time job now than I did working part-time in college. FML

Don't worry abt it OP. We all have to start somewhere

Taking a pay cut is common when you're breaking into a new industry- you'll be rolling in cash if you stick to your career path!

Is it also common to break into safes when you're breaking into the industry because you'd need to steal to live on a wage like that?

Unfortunately that's becoming the norm for the way the world works.

What was the subject of your degree?

Baby steps op.. We all gotta climb the latter. You'll make it one day

You've got an education mate; that, coupled with the desire to work, will have you out-earning both versions of yourself real quick. In comparison both will seem paltry. Just keep at it.

there is always a chance to get better job.. but believe me you will never regret the time spent in collage

This is known as paying your dues. Real life doesn't have to suck but yeah, the party's over.

What party? The idea that college is one big party is a myth. I literally know nobody like that. We are all working our asses off and making huge sacrifices to things like sleep and mental health. It's not fun. It's not a party.

for you it isn't. I'm loving college and I'm still maintaining an excellent GPA. it's all about knowing how to set your priorities. College is definitely an experience you'll never forget. if you're that stressed out I'm pretty sure it's about more than college.
