No Jobs For College Graduates

          The reason every student attends college is to land a great job in the career of their choice. The large amounts of money spent on books, racked up loans, late nights spent studying, will all be worth it once the student receives their degree, which in turn will get them that awesome job they've always dreamt about. Although, this is the fantasy for many students, waiting for the pay back might have to be added to the list. Jobs have become more and more scarcer since the economy took a hit. This has forced graduates to take jobs that are lower level such as bartending or waitressing, to provide them with enough means to live until they land a job in the career of their choosing. The article In Weak Job Market, One In Two College Graduates Are Jobless Or Underemployed goes more in depth about this phenomenon.
          Achieving the "American Dream" is the goal students work for, but as the years go by, that concept becomes more like a mirage. The article Half of Recent College Graduates Lack Full Time Job Study Says  talks about students having a hard time finding full time work, let alone a job that allows them the chance to utilize their degree. A graduate from Cal State Fullerton talks of her embarrassment dealing with the reality of having a degree and working at a bank. The article also goes more in depth about the statistics of graduates and jobs. Check out these articles. Hopefully they will be interesting to you all.
