Life after college

These companies expect graduates to have all-star resumes. No matter what your passion there will always be requirements before the requirement. Since when is a college degree and personal determination not enough to make a buck? I understand the economy is in the tank and nobody is finding jobs, but I refuse to bow down to that mantra of failure. They say find an internship, then when you're done with that internship find another one. The entry-level positions have been replaced by unpaid college credit internships - there are very few of us who can go months working 40 hours a week without being paid - it is tragically unreasonable, and something companies have come to learn and take much advantage of.

I think it's time to start my own business and be my own boss. I've never had family in the upper-echolons or in possession of trust-funds. When I finally find something it will be because of my work or my luck, and right now luck is not on my side, once so ever.

A college education is like a high school education nowadays, worth about as much as the piece of paper it's printed on.

I went to college to have the ability to work for something I was passionate about. Now I just don't know.
