Been on the job hunt like crazy this year. My goal is to find a decent job before graduation... To avoid the "what the **** am I going to do now" feeling I hear people talk about. What degrees did you guys get? What position did you land? If you don't mind disclosing, how much did you make? How was life for you living off this salary?
 
Outta college (fixed), I went into management training at pepsico for 55k salary. After certification a year later, I got a 15% raise and became bonus eligible, bumping me into the mid-70's.

I majored in marketing, but most of the marketing offers we're between 30-45k so I took a position in sales management for the cash. And I live in Seattle, so I'm pretty comfortable with what I make/my lifestyle.

$9.50/hr out of college. Hell, even now I have a hard time getting a job where the min education requirements is a HS diploma.
 
I went straight thru and graduated with my masters at age 23... Started off with a 40k salary but bumped it up to 50 with a part time....

My major is social work tho so I prolly will go back to school eventually...

Good luck with ur job search Phi use the bond and see if u can find some bruhs that know about jobs. My Klub got me my first job outta grad school an I'm forever grateful
