I graduated from college last year - and I'm headed right back to school this year! :D It's tough out there - the BA/BS is fast becoming a minimum requirement for many jobs. It's also hard not to do the "I wasted four years" thing if you went into a major expecting to get a job from it and it's not paying out. That's discouraging - on TOP of the student loans!

Good tips. It took me about a year after I graduated to find my first full-time job (I worked part time until then) and another 6 months to get a job in my field.
