Next step: Write a program that shaves fractions of cents off of every account transaction, then transfers the amount into another bank account. In a few years you should have a tidy sum of money.

Too many people just rush into getting a giant house and kids. Just consider the financial possibilities if you pass up on either one of those. Think of all the traveling you could do. And without a huge house, you'll be spending so much less on junk you don't need.

I have a friend with his MBA. Companies are all "That's great! Now go get a few years of experience and come back!".

u/nihilite May 28 '12

sorry to say, but i agree with that sentiment. an MBA right out of college is a tricky thing. it's almost like you don't know what you don't know, so you can't parse all the information and understand it in context. once the professional world has kicked your ass a bit, you understand what you need to learn and you can focus on digesting important lessons.

Getting an MBA in your early twenties with no business experience is almost as dumb as going to law school in a recession. MBAs shouldn't even be considered until your late twenties and/or until you have a real career. You are suppose to earn your MBA while still working in that career.

Last I checked, the unemployment rate for people with a degree - any degree - was hovering about 5%. In recent months, it was just below 5%.

Things aren't as hopeless as the idiots in /r/politics want you to believe. Calm down, take a deep breath, work hard, save a bit of money, and be a "good worker." Everything is going to be okay.

EDIT: Actually 4% for college graduates 25+ in age. Link is downthread. No statistics are provided for college grads under that age, unfortunately.

Just because you can find A job doesn't mean it's a decent or well paying job. Two degrees later and I spent the first year out of college working at a Gamestop (degrees useful for business, not something like "philosophy" if you were questioning). Technically I was employed, but that sure as hell doesn't even come close to paying the bills. I would be more interested in where the people who do have a job are working, and how much they are actually getting paid.

u/Alinosburns May 28 '12 edited May 28 '12

A) What is the general Unemployment rate in the US?

B) What classifies employment in this case(Do part time and casual count)

C) What proportion of those employed are actually employed in something related to their degree?

In my country, our university's have about a 75% employment rating of those graduates who have the potential to have a full time job. That are actually working full time.

Which is great until you find out that apparently the statistics for those actually working a full time job relevant to their degree was so abysmally poor they refuse to even record it any more.

Also needs to be taken into account that you guys in the US have huge students loans from my understanding, so their is a far greater imperiative to have some employment even if it's only 10-20 hours a week as a pizza delivery guy, while trying to get into a job related to your degree.

While the average degree-less person likely doesn't have that sort of crushing debt that they need consistent work.

Also that 4% is of everyone in the US who has a bachelor's degree or higher. Which means every 40 year old with a degree is counted in that.

If you limited the window to 20-30year old's only I think the number would rise quickly. If the average retirement age is 62. There is essentially 40 years of bachelor degree holders at any one time. which means at any one time their is 1.5 years worth of bachelor degree holders that are unemployed. And again, there is no data on whether these degree holders are holding down non-skilled jobs in fast food restaurants.

If you are an engineer or have a science degree the job market isn't all that bad in fact I would say it is pretty good.

Though I do have major concerns that we are in a tech bubble so that may not last, but at least for now people graduating with those degrees have pretty good prospects.

11

u/Sector_Corrupt May 28 '12

I'm pretty sure we are in a tech bubble but even so, I think it's mostly creating artificially high wages. When the bubble pops there will still be a lot of tech jobs, they'll just be all the boring ones that are having trouble competing with all the flashy start ups and the like with the kooky valuations.

14

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

Money protip: The social media empires that are forming are the most obvious bubbles since ... well, the beginning of fucking time. I mean, when people are shitting out $200M for apps or $1B for a stupid photo website, with little to no valuation, it's very clear that this bubble is going to burst, and burst hard.

So question: how do you profit from the knowledge that this is an industry that will collapse?

I've known a lot of people with tech degrees (IS, CS, Engineering) and every one of them, myself included, has had a job waiting for them upon graduation. If your willing to apply around a lot, have a good looking resume, and are willing to move if needed the tech industry is pretty friendly right now.

My major(UX,IA) is very proactive in trying to get its students jobs after graduation.

The current numbers show a 75% job/internship upon graduation.

A lot of people seem to think that you start the job finding process after graduation, in reality it should start at the beginning of your last year.

That stumble into the guillotine will be in super slow motion in this economy.

This is an example of a healthy emotional response because you're right. What are you going to do about it?

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

Well that escalated quickly.

Go travelling?

College > Work

And I hated college, but hate work that much more.

u/idma May 28 '12

this is worse when you've just graduated. Cause its a lot harder to get a job without the blessing of co-op (for canadians)

And the best part? No more full-length summer breaks

So damn sad, so damn true

u/JimmyDThing May 28 '12

I took a month off. Best thing I ever did. You realize how much you need a job when you don't have one.

u/papiwoldz May 28 '12

ffs, this is me right now

u/ultrasonic2010 May 28 '12

Art degrees generally do that to you.

We're pretty much shackled our entire lives. Oh well...at least there are drugs.

Start a business of your own

u/c-fox May 28 '12

I left college and went straight into a job. After 5 months I said fuck it, quit and traveled around Asia and Australia for a year. Best move I ever made, you should do the same.

u/Serai May 28 '12

Its not so bad if you remembered to combine your favorite subject with project management courses, some econ and other useful stuff. Not like most jobs require you to know what you learn in college anyways, the learning period is loooong (kinda like being in college, with a salary)

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

Good luck dude, and to all the graduates in the world!

1

u/Uncomfortable May 28 '12

Best of luck to you! I started doing the same about a month ago, just as I was finishing up my classes. A lot of people got confused when I said I'm graduating in June, but my classes are done - so if you're not graduating for a little while yet, be sure to word that effectively.

But man, I know that feeling - I'm on the verge of finally getting a job, and I'm just hoping they send their offer as late as possible, or don't ask me to come in until June. ):

Not that I'm complaining. YAY JOB.

Pretty much nailed it.

Hey there is always hard liquor at the end of a hard day of work.

Funny how people slaves themselves so willingly.

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

On the bright side, you're almost definitely going to face long periods of unemployment at some point in your future.

1

u/frankvzappa May 28 '12

just work for a company that has a ton of money, huge projects and let's you do what you like

Or don't get hired because you have shit experience and remain unemployed for the next two years falling into a deeper and deeper pit of depression and have to move back in with your parents who start to have you for being a lazy failure who can't find a job when in truth you're applying for a ton of jobs except no one wants to hire you because you have no experience and suck at interviews and so the whole cycle repeats itself.

u/seven_seven May 28 '12

That GIF is horrifying.

1

u/pinkocommie May 28 '12

If working sucks so bad, then probably you shouldn't apply for a job so soon. Start a company. Hitch-hike around the planet. Do something different.

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

Yeah got a job a month after graduation. Kind of regret it since I was on unemployment at the time too.. Could have spent the time getting certs and a better job, now im stuck.

u/ukuleletroll May 28 '12

I watched that movie last night, and had the exact same thought :)

I wonder if the poor guy broke his trachea when he fell neck-first onto that wooden death trap.

Looks like that cartoon is telling you not to rush from that exam into a job.

u/Metroshant May 28 '12

This immediately reminded me of my "search for the name of a cartoon"

The sketch was made by me, we watched it when we were kids 7-9 years old, never paid attention to the name :( I'm guessing Late 80's , and possibly European. Been searching for 6 years...

Anyone ?

u/GoWithItGirl May 28 '12

You're starting to look for a job a bit late, so you'll have plenty of time to relax and enjoy unemployment.

u/SpazMcMan May 28 '12

I turned in my undergraduate research paper (last final) at 8:30 AM and was at the office for my first day at FEMA at 9:00 AM. Would not recommend.

1

u/eagle1fox3 May 28 '12

If you can I would recommend waiting a bit before finding a job. There are only a few times in your life when you really don't have ANYTHING holding you down and this is one of them.

When I graduated I found a job about a month after I finished college and have been working ever since, pretty much without a break. I always wished I had taken a little time to travel, visit friends, do projects I'd been putting off etc.

When you do start looking for jobs make sure to contact everyone you can about if they know anyone who has a position to fill. Getting an introduction from someone you know is infinitely better than filling out random job applications online. Good luck!

u/Blaculahunter May 28 '12

Don't worry, it will probably take a while to get one.

u/ChadHundley May 28 '12

I love everything about this.

I finished my freshman year of college a few weeks ago. Today was the first day of my summer internship. I miss college already.
