What's next after college?

I match the above question. I hav a friend of mine who is like me, But as like me waiting for a job related to my studies, he after waiting for some month and for some job to work as u said he went and joined as Aircraft trainer in another city. Its been 3 years and now he want to come back to his native so that he can marry and stay with his parents (they are becoming old and need him) but he is not finding a change over here with any companies, its so difficult for him to change his current career and come and join in his native as in IT or finance. No one is even responding to him if he asked a job in IT or other field becos he has exp in diff field. The pity part of it is he is asking me a help as me now is unemployed (some months ago i was working in Aircraft parts manufacturing company, and left it because i met with an severe accident). What wud u say for him. Its the same for people who worked in BPO or call centres, u can get job now but u can not find change later. I am a Mechanical Engineer. I spent my parents hard earned money and my hard work to earn the degree. but becos of other reason i and even many of my other friends are not finding good job. Do u want us to feel waste of our earned degree and go join some irrelevant BPO or Sales persons? Remember this, wat u tell might suit for just people like u and u only know to Tell things. Facing with problems directly is difficult.. I faced it..
