College? Stay away!!!

As a recent graduate (2011), im in the category of unemployed college grad. I have a kickass resume and a worthless degree and no job to show for it. You'd think that having a BA in criminology would at least get you in a precinct or a law firm but no. My former awesome federal job is no more and it's not like I've had good luck getting back in. This is ridiculous. I'm going on one year unemployed. One year of being an unemployed graduate and yet even though I have a clerical background, I can't even get hired for that! Ridiculous. I have 5 years of data management under my belt, a degree in a completely different field but the jobs I've had support both fields. I'm tired of the bullshit articles. I'm tired of seeing people with less qualifications being hired. I want to go back and get another degree in chemistry but what good will it be post graduation? That's scary. Getting myself in debt and AGAIN falling into the category of unemployed college grad is scary. I'm in enough debt (not from school thankfully) already. I don't need anymore. College was supposed to prepare me for the workforce. Make me a more appealing person and it did nothing of the sort. Smh.

Thanks but no thanks. Good luck to you. Don't become a statistic.
