I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up doing something like this with my new shiny Bachelor's degree, too.

Yeah, that sucks. The economy really needs help. A few of my friends are graduating this year, and they're all a little worried about what's going to happen next.

I graduated a year ago from a prestigious university with 2 degrees and am still looking for something other than retail. This one hit home. *sobs* Don't feel bad though. At least you have something! Some of my friends are still jobless period. Good luck!

That's okay. I'll probably be working at the Stop & Shop across from you.

if it makes you feel any better, I have a US security clearence and I work at McDonalds

liberal arts degrees are worthless unless you become a teacher or something. Applied sciences are where all the jobs are at.

I can't believe all the people here who are saying you asked for it by majoring in something "useless." News flash: we're in a major recession, and even the most qualified, educated people are having a hard time finding jobs. I feel for the OP. Good luck with the job hunt.

Be happy you at least have a job. Many people are unemployed right now and would be more than happy to work at a hot dog stand if it meant some income.

Welcome to the second Great Depression, courtesy of greedy politicians and selfish constituents.

Do like everyone else. Go to law school. (I'd advise a cheap one, though)

Keep your chin up, working at a hot dog stand doesn't mean the end of it. The degree will be around if a job offer comes around, and what you're facing is the slight me many. :) Stay strong, and learn from the experience.
