Yeah, that usually hits a lot of people around here as well, somewhere around graduation. The whole thing about having a good degree gets you a job is just a myth, and it's just testamount to the failure of the education system here. We have more graduates coming out than graduate jobs to fill. I guess your end's not doing that great either.

I've begun to trust another saying: its not what you know, it's who you know. Right now I need to know someone with a lotta money so I can get a sponsor for media equipment.

But hey man, things aren't that bad. You just graduated, so there's bound to be some time lag between that and employment. Keep smiling, something'll work out.
