Re: What's your job

(Anonymous) 2012-07-16 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
This. I have a college degree and three years later I still don't have an actual career job. I went two years being unemployed after I graduated, had to move back in with my parents, before finally managing to scrape enough together to move to a different part of the country where the economy wasn't quite so bad. Since then I've been working two jobs pretty consistently and while I do excellent at my current job and love it, I still only make $9 a hour and its seasonal so once it ends I go back to making minimum wage and have to scramble to find a second winter job in order to support myself.

A lot of life is simple perseverance. I dropped several of my college classes and struggled A LOT in college but I managed to pull through and graduated with a 2.9 with only having to take an extra semester and a few summer classes (which were required anyway).

Point is, people with degrees will still know a great deal about failure too so saying, "You have a college degree so you don't know what it's like to fail" is a gross overstatement.
