Job hunting for the pre-recent grad

The Onion

Graduation is about 1 month away and everything in my wants to scream " WHY?!?! I AM NOT READY!!!" One day I was at the community college where I take my Chemistry class (so that I can graduate this semester) and usually as soon as class is over, I am " knocking down old ladies" to get in my car and make that 1hour trip to my university. Well, on that day, I could literally hear my brain telling me that if you make that 1 hour drive there, you will not be making that same drive back home. So I stayed my but back, and true to that, I was so sick that afternoon, with a fever and muscle pain that for once I was glad that I did listen to myself.

Job hunting for, almost nothing.

It is a very sad thing when you go through all those years of higher education classes, years of learning 80% things you will more than likely never use outside the classroom (consciously), and 20% what you learned outside the class or in passing, to receive a... better life and an opportunity to something out of yourself? ajob offer? No, the correct answer is... the first notice that your first loan payment is due in 2 months.

I spent some time asking around as to what i should do. Here are some of the suggestions:

1. Teach abroad
1. China
2. Japan
3. countries in Africa
2. Teach locally
3. Foreign Service
4. Go back to school for a Bachelors in Nursing

  I went into the Career center at one of the schools that I am attending, in consortium with my degree program, and I was disappointed by the lackings of the whole office. I was expecting more than what they were offering or what they had the capacity to do.TISK TISK. Sorry folks, it was the outdated system of using a "Job Book" that did ya in. Not everyone has the high hopes of working in Federal Government. I hope to one day soon Marry a Man with a BoatLOAD of $$$$$. That was the reason I went to college....(I am a fool for that one).

The Career Center at the University I attend has some events coming up. They were charging $20 to attend the Career Boot Camp, even for students! I really wanted to go but the fee slapped the taste out my mouth; I am living on the students budget. $Free.99 is what I can afford right now. Well, I noticed that now the event is now Free. I wonder if not enough people registered for it or if somone complained...
