Get your college degree and jobs will come your way, lie. College is the best time of your life, truth. I graduated within three and half years with the sun above my head and the stars resting upon my shoulders. I was ready for the real world ready for its weeks without a job its days without constant job offers and interviews, I was ready for New York City. I began my search on-line handing in tons of resumes to different companies waiting for the days with a response, however those days turned to weeks and those weeks without a job turned to months. Don't get me wrong they were job offers which I thought were my lucky breaks but they turned out to something different from what they advertised. Students should be aware of such deceitful job offers because they prey on desperate college students looking for jobs. Then it came to even friends saying I should work for minimal wages at fast food places. But my pride would not permit me, so the struggle continued.

After I felt the internet was of no more help I then began going to these offices of place of interest even though I had no appointments. Sometimes it works sometimes security escorts you out. It's a gamble like the dice player but this time I have provided my own table to roll my dice. After a couple of months of many deceitfully job offers demeaning job offers and suggestions I finally got a break in the big apple. I got a job with a firm that was actually close to my field of study. This article is not as detailed as I would want it to be or it would have been a novel, however the real world is not a play ground but college is if we make it so. We must separate those two worlds before we disembark form our Alma matter and take our maiden voyage into the treacherous seas. But this does not have to be. To sail out on calm seas start you're networking now especially juniors and need I say seniors. What I had learned during my job search was it was not only what you knew but who you knew. And our institutions should also have programs designed for job searching skills and networking. Hopefully the suggested addition of a job search class in our curriculum would have no cause to increase our school fees.
