I'm a little appalled at how hard it has become for college grads to find good jobs.

I got an BS in Human services the year the government cut the human services budget and the job I had lined up was gone.

    That's because things like Art and Human Services aren't real majors.

    On the flip side...

    I did not go to college. I have more "work expierence" than most people my age. Straight out of high school, I worked full time..

    That being said.. I cannot move up without having a peice of paper saying I know how to do my job.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    It was real to me :cry:

    maybe, but it doesn't count if it's not real to employers.

    Most places I have worked have accepted applicable experience in place of formal education, for this very reason.

    In fact, even though I, too, was an Art major (2 degrees in Art, mind you) - experience is how i got my current job, because it sure isn't in the Art field. It is in IT and Software training and education.
