Re: Life after College
I'm going to graduate with bachelors in Criminal Justice and a minor in Psychology. I applied to a place somewhat local and it pays $13.00 an hour plus benfits and vacation the day you start, and they were impressed and told me to contact them a month prior to graduation. It's not what i want to do forever, but a start i guess.

Re: Life after College
I'm not even doing anything related to my major and I rent a room from my parents 
. If I wanted to move out I could but then I'd be dirt poor and continue to work a job I hate just to make a living. I hate my job, labor unions, and large companies w/a passion. I'm using all my vacations days in summer, sucking my benefits dry and then going back to school for business and possibly finish that degree in psychology I started too. The added debt will be worth it though, I'm not gonna put off a career for a "good" job.
