So then you should be sympathetic and encouraging instead of flippant.

Ten months after graduating from Ohio State University with a civil-engineering degree and three internships, Matt Grant finally has a job -- as a banquet waiter at a Clarion Inn near Akron, Ohio.
“It’s discouraging right now,†said the 24-year-old, who sent out more than 100 applications for engineering positions. “It’s getting closer to the Class of 2010, their graduation date. I’m starting to worry more.â€
Thanks for posting this. It made me feel better. I have a decent job right now, but I want to relocate, so I'm looking for a new job in my target city. I've sent my resume to 30 different places and haven't gotten a single interview. After reading this, though, I'm not tempted to take my lack of success personally.
It's going to be tough for a lot of recent college graduates. The less experience you have. The worse it is going to be.
I recently earned a master's degree. And nobody even cares about that. They like my current part-time work experience doing nothing but the basics. lol.
Isn't that sad? I've heard from a lot of people that a Master's degree in my field is a waste of time. I've heard that employers in my field are actually turned off by Master's degrees because they think you'll expect more money. Which makes sense...I'd expect more money if I had more expertise. I guess that would be another one of those entitlement issues that everyone is talking about?

Yeah, one of the many things that shies me away from pursuing my masters. I don't want to look too qualified or look like I am someone who deserves more pay than what they would be willing to offer. All of that sweat, blood, and tears only to be turned off by employers because of how over-qualified you look.
