Consolidating Student Loans

:shrug: I wouldn't say that, it's hard to find a good job right out of college.
Back in May '94 I walked on Saturday, Tuesday I got a job offer, Wed. I found out I failed a class (and thus did NOT graduate), Thursday I called the company offering me a job and took the job (with the understanding that I would be allowed to take a long lunch to take the class over, and then make up the time at the end of the day), Friday I drove to Pa, found an apartment, signed a lease, bought an antique kitchen table to furnish my apartment, then drove to OC for Memorial Day weekend. A week later I moved into my new apartment and then started my job. :shrug: It wasn't hard for me to "find" a "good job" right out of college. But that is because I did NOT wait until AFTER college to go looking. I worked part time, in my field of study, for the last 6 months of my college time. I started applying for jobs in February, knowing I would not be able to start unil June. I did not rely only upon ads in the paper, I also attended trade shows and took my resume to companies without knowing if they were hiring or not. It's called initiative, excercise some.

I myself have just finished going through my own little mini life drama and have yet to post out in the open how tough a time I had with that....why?? because coming out of the closet was hard for me, and I'll be darned if I’m going to use some online chat buddies as shoulders to cry on for something that they don't care about to begin with.

I for one am concerned about what my posts are going to be like when I discover the real world...can you imagine???

I don't think anyone is giving her a hard time because she is having reservations and fears about "growing up". Heck we all had those. I think everyone is just fed up with the "woah is me" gag. I mean everyone goes through something rough all the time around here...I don't see them posting the little "its so hard to be me; you just don't know" threads every chance they get......

:shrug: B/c hardly anyone in my extended family has finished college (a grand total of 2) and I'm the first girl in my immediate family to go to college. I'm scared of not finding a job, not being able to support myself...I know so many people my age who would agree with me on this, and how this is stressful, but anyone who is 5yrs + up older than me just wants to write it off as some silly girl who worries about nothing. Well these are real issues, excuse me.
I hate to be mean to people I don't even know.. but..

You graduate in SIX months and you're worried about a graduation party!?? Do YOU HAVE A JOB OFFER YET!???? I graduated in Dec 2000, and in Jun of 2000 I already had a signed contract. Get off of your azz and go get a job!! If you haven't got a signed job offer yet, and haven't formally sent out 200 resume's you are SLACKING!! You should already be a seasoned interviewee by now, and taking your pick from offers..
