    I graduated in 2008; I was an office assistant at a state agency at the time, doing software testing. A permanent position opened up last year and I took it while I looked for something in my field. Good luck, it's a jungle out there.

    I know how you feel. I'm unemployed and have been in school and have been actively seeking employment. I actually have an interview tomorrow for a customer Service Rep for Home Depot, not my ideal job, but I will take in in a heartbeat if hired. Sadly now a days, it's not about how much experience you have you or if you graduated with a degree, it's about WHO you KNOW. Like the others have said, moving back home isn't ideal, but at least you have family that are willing to help you out. Good luck and I wish you the best!

    I feel ya. I lost my job last summer, and after a few months in Italy (basically my boyfriend at the time paid my way there), I moved here to VA and haven't been able to find a permanent job. I worked a 6 week temp. job, but have managed to blow through my savings as well as my 401k (don't worry, I had them take out extra taxes so hopefully I don't owe next year - having worked in the financial industry had its perks, I guess). I have three BAs.

    Thankfully, tomorrow I go in to fill out my paperwork for substitute teaching. Hopefully that'll at least help me pay my rent. I'm putting my name out there as a piano teacher, so we'll see if I can get some students. That's pretty big side money that I can pull in if I can get a few students.

    Hang in there. You're definitely not alone. :flowerforyou:
