[QUOTE="LL, post: 38024, member: 95"] With the economy tanking, it is indeed a lousy time to be starting out. Jobs are disappearing at a record rate, so you are in competition with experienced displaced people in addition to other grads. Sending out paperwork and waiting for the phone to ring is how it works in good times, not the bad ones. Fire ALL your guns, Aaron. Unless your degree is in a specialty (law, medicine, engineering, etc.), it means little to an employer except as proof of aptitude & attitude to complete what you start, and an indicator of enlightened self-interest. The majority of the incoming workforce has one these days. Don't apply only within your field of study, in other words. Be creative with your contacts, play to your strengths, and be willing to relocate, and something will probably turn up. [/QUOTE]
