I'm 23, right out of college. I'm looking for a job that will last me from now through the time I finish my masters. (Which I'm starting next year)
At this point I will do ANYTHING. 40k... I would sell my soul for 40k. A full time job, for 40k annually sounds like a dream. I went through college and only have $2k of student loans so basically I have nothing I have to pay towards except moving out. I swear, kids my days aren't this dude. Most I know are dying to work anywhere with full time hours, a salary and a little benefits. Oh did I mention I'm uninsured too?
I've been searching for a job from before I ever put on that cap and gown (in May) till now. I've been on numerous interviews (At least 10+ since June) and nothing has materialized. A good friend of mine, graduated from MD, interned with the Redskins (as a journalist) for the past season. And couldn't get a job for over 4 months.
If you graduated last year, this year, or probably next year.. You're basically screwed.
But seriously. I am so desperate for a full-time job, I've thought about asking you guys where I should start. I'm willing to take anything that pays over 25k. Ideally, I'd like to start around 30k. Anything having to do with law or social work type things I'm down for.
I'm looked for government jobs but they want people with office/clerical experience, which I have none of. I only have 4 years of customer service experience. Damn... I guess I am screwed.
