Way back in my college years I always picture myself in my graduation day, taking the board exam, passing and finding a good job. It is because I really hate studying, doing requirements and meeting all the deadlines. Looking back at those memories, I laughed because back then I could have done everything just to finish college in a single minute but now that I've graduated and passed the board exam, I wish that I am a student again.
I find it really hard looking for a job since everybody here I guess is a nurse. With all financial matters remains very expensive, I really consider having "no job" a big problem..... (sighs)

I know the feeling dam!!! When I was young I made way more money than I ever did today!!! What happened out there in the world? It sux!!! Gas is high jobs don't pay you anything anymore!!! I have skipped 2 days of work today and yesterday and thinking of not going back due to the crappy pay, no benefits, no thanks to a good job I did and have done, so I hope they are suffering without me!! L.O.L.

Well, don`t give up..keep exploring your talent. I got job based on my passion (soccer translator/writer) after 15 years. Before that, I taught English. After I started working at this soccer magazine, I quit all freelance jobs as this is full time job. Be sure of what you want, keep trying and let God do the rest

I understand your frustration. The job market is not doing very well right now and I am also worried about finding a job. I am still in school right now but I have heard that having a degree would not mean you could find a job and I'm not sure if I should continue with my education or not. The tuition is very high and I'm not sure if it would pay off in the future. I hope there is a job out there for us.

I feel for you, truthfully sometimes I think like this too. Even with a college degree it's really hard to find a job. After years of studying landing a job is so hard. I am also currently looking for a job I resigned last September and I am still looking hard for a job. I hope you have your luck too. Best wishes!

Welcome to the real world! Thats how tough it is looking for a job. You must never forgot that beside your schoolmates, there are some schools also who have thousands of graduates, those who also passed the board exams, those you graduated and pass the exam ahead of you. Its what they called tight competition, your well suited for the job but there is a distinct someone who suited more than you. A job experience is another concern, some prefer those people. The only thing I can advice to you, don't choose where to apply, what company to apply, and what job to apply. If still you can't find that job there are lot of things to do, just count your blessings and patience is a good virtue, pray hard so you can have that job you wanted.

It's been four or five years since i got out of college and Still am I unemployed .My friends all got decent jobs and are getting married ,having babies .I ever tried a couple of times to fit in a job not I really wanted. But I failed every time . And then I figured that it has nothing to do what you do but where and how you do a job . 'Cause I can hardly fit in this culture that has been disturbing me for decades . Now I'm working on second language and try to get abroad and get a way out of all of this disappointment ,annoyance ,boredom .
