Mine was not that hard, i was lucky i had work right away but most of my friends are having a hard time and personally i found out that life is tougher outside college life and you have to prepare yourself, people gets so cruel and rude

Life after college is a great one. When you already finished studying in college, you'll felt soo happy and proud to yourself that atlast you managed to finished your studies and you can now find a job that you want. Based on my experience, It is ver hard to dind a job right now. Maybe because the worl is suffering from financial nowadays. After graduation I prefer to apply for the job which I think it's very easy to earn money. And since Call center industry is a famous job here in our country, I try to work as a call center agent. I was assingned to work in graveyard shift so it means I will be working at night. It's okey for me I survived working there for four months but after four months I resigned because I decided to pursue my profession and that is to become a teacher.But unfortunately, the school year was already started and schools are not looking for teachers anymore that is why I need to wait until january next year to have a job. Good thing I just passed the board examination for teachers last month.Happy posting and goodluck!

Congratz in advance.. Well, I had just graduated from college only this year month of March.. In my experienced after graduation, I don't find my life interesting, my life now is sad and boring.. Why?? Well, after graduation, I moved from other city to find job as what my older sister insist me to do since accordingly to her there's no good future for me if I'll stay in our hometown since the minimum salary that I can receive is below minimum salary when I'm going to work in the city.. Definitely she's right! I though my life in the other city will be good and happy since I will be in new place and meet so many people.. But all of my expectations were not reach.. Yes, I had met so many people but they were not friendly as what I've thought.. I need to know more about their culture and believe.. When they knew that i came from our place they always teasing me that I might be a relative of a terrorist.. They always making stories to other people to make some fun but it isn't joke for me.. Since I need to deal with them so I just ignored all the things they will say even I am already irritated.. Since, the life in here isn't the same in my hometown, most of my rest day or after work I just stay at home.. I don't used to go out or go to the mall to hang out since I don't have a friend to be with.. Honestly, I am not happy with my life right now.. I am not happy with my job, I am not happy with the people I met, and most of all I am not happy staying all by my self at home even my niece is there.. I missed my life as a student.. Like always going out with my friends.. Being with my boyfriend.. I miss my friends, I miss my family and most of all I miss my boyfriend.. Everything had changed after the graduation.. I though my life after graduation is more happier since you will be able to earn money already and no more homeworks, requirements, exam, etc. but it seems my life become dull and not exciting..
So, be sure that after you graduated from college you already have a plan.. You should know whether you will be happy with the life your going to choose because it is hard to changed the life you had choose already.. There is no turning back already..

When I graduated from college, I felt like I was trapped in a crossroad. I didn't know where to go. They say the first job is not something that should be given much thought and is usually considered just stepping stones. I say otherwise. It was my first job that taught me much about myself and about the labor force in general.
The first thing you should know after graduating is that every decision you make from hereon counts for a lot later on, so make it count.
Cheers and congratulations in advance!

Life after college is so difficult because you have to face the so called "real world". You have to look for work and will be face with so many interviews. You will be competing with so many graduated students also in your way of job searching.Being at work is not that easy also. If in school, there are so many kind teachers, in work, you may be facing different kinds of boss who is quite difficult to be with. The work environment as well as the employee you will be working with will not be as pleasing and as kind as you want because there will be a competition not only on the salary but also on promotion.That is why you have to give always your best shots.Develop your skills especially your interpersonal skills.
