I Graduate College in a week! Now what????????

So I'm graduating college next Sunday. I'm really excited, but at the same time, I'm also kind of nervous. I've never worked a full-time job. (Except in the summer - but those jobs were never really, what a college student would call, "work-work.")





Will the jobs be THAT much better now that I have a degree? Or am I doomed to being a slave to the clock and having little time for myself now that I'm out of college?





While on one hand, a lot of my friends seem to wish they were in my shoes (about to gradate.) I was the one, in my little group of friends, that stuck to actually trying at school. I didn't fall into the trap of parties, drinking, drugs or any of that. (I still had fun don't get me wrong...just not enough to destroy my chances of finishing college.) Now my friends are fixing those mistakes and will gradate in 2 years. As weird as it might sound, college has been my life since 2002 and now that chapter is closing. Even though, I'm trying to apply for Graduate school, there are chances I might not get in.





I know I should be nothing but excited - but I can't help but worry a bit. It is like I have this uncertain future and I won't have enough time to figure out what is right for me.





I grew up till about the age of 14 thinking I'd be famous before I'd finish college. (Yeah, Justin Timberlake, I thought I'd have your life!) Now I'm about to graduate college and I'm not sure what to do.





The thought of getting a full time job, seems like a jail sentence. I'm use to seeing my family, friends, whenever I want to, unless I have class. Sorry if I seem over-dramatic - at 3AM - I tends to get that way.








All I can do is keep listening to the song, "Everybody Wants To Rule The World."


It is really comforting for some reason. Something that line "Welcome to your life" really sums up how I feel right now.








Does anyone have any words of advice, inspiration, wisdom, anything at all to help me chant the nights along before graduation?

hate to tell you this, but school is overrated.
Reply:Many colleges have an agreement with many corporations to have job fairs or career days, where you can meet the recruiter's from that company and give them your resume, these recruiter's will also have information packets about there company and what positions they are hiring for, you can also gone on line and post your resume on Monster.com, careers.com and many others. Also many jobs have different work schedlue that can fit your life style, day, swing shift, graveyard, 4/10 where you work Mon thru Thurs. Friday off, I know you'll find something to meet yout needs... Good Luck
Reply:So, you've been in college for six years...you said since 2002, right?





In all that you wrote, you did not say what you majored in, nor what degree you ended up with.





This information would help us to help you with the "What next" question!
Reply:I love the smooth criminal Michael Jackson picture you've got. It's great. What's your degree in? That has a lot of relevance as to whether you should be worried or not. Also, depending on your degree, you might want to look at going to grad school. I've known some people who have done just fine with only an undergrad degree. It just depends on what it's in. I wouldn't let this keep you up at night. You'll be fine if you have a good work ethic and are relatively intelligent.
