    How does it feel graduating to no job out there?
    How does it feel having debt?
    How does it feel knowing you are never to live in your own place to call home?

    College is not the answer these days due to the job market being pretty much closed.

    I don't have debt, and am not going to college for the degree, but for what I learn.

    Your logic doesn't work either way, what IS the answer, not going to college so that when you do get your foot in the door, you're stuck as a dish washer for life?

    So you're saying that being the 1% is as simple as caring about what you learn, instead of what a piece of paper says you've learned?

    OP: You are catastrophizing. Yes, you may not see a job right now. Yes, you may have to live with Mom & Dad for one or two years, but this is not going to happen for eternity.

    While I am semi-employed, but have a good job that pays well, I still know your pain because many of my friends are in your boat. Just be constantly researching how you can apply your degree to the real world. There are so many applications that you probably never even knew of. I know that's how it was for me.

    And employers will pick up on your attitude if you are very down about things. They want an enthusiastic person, so try to improve the way you look at it and perhaps something will come along quicker than you think.

    How does it feel to be on your own, like a complete unknown, with no direction home?

    :p
