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

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!

don't worry op. you're just starting out. once you get some experience more money will come along with it.

People don't seem to realize that just because you have a college degree doesn't mean you are automatically given a job. OPs success depends on factors such as the job market for her desired career. If OP chose a major that everyone else chooses or a useless major, they just made real life harder.

Haha lol that sucks, maybe u could go back to ur old job

Hmm....maybe talk to one of the more knowledgable employees there? Maybe someone will have some advice on what to do? My Dads career was that way and it turned out if he continued taking a few random classes not college related here and there but career related, his salary sky rocketed as well as he job offers.

u have to do something serious about ur carrier

Yeah! Sprint is currently buying out Verizon contracts. I would consider that WAY serious, since only Verizon works where I live, but it's totally up to you.

keep in mind that, coming out of the recession, there is a glut of people looking for work. So it's a employers market and you have to compete harder for that position. think of new ways to sell yourself. depending on your degree, you may want to emphasize other skills

I'm sorry. I'm terrified of this.
