Well I just graduated last year and things didn't go nearly like I had planned. I was expecting to get out of school and use my degree to earn a better income. I've always worked full time even through school but having my BA in business I had hoped to accomplish more. Unfortunately we are graduating during the worst economic times since the great depression so there is a lot of competition in the job market.
My piece of advice would be to not get discouraged if you can't jump into your ideal job straight from school. Keep in mind that you are young and the economy should turn around soon (hopefully) and provide more opportunities to everyone.
