    This is why I immediately started working after graduating high school. Community college and Trade school is beneficial to. But moral is that experience and skills are important than a degree.

    I never wanted to go straight to college after HS, as much as every adult in my life tried to make me. I got told I dodged a bullet.

    That’s why you need internships during college, I’m so glad I did a bunch of paid internships while studying before I graduated.

      @@aniyah_nashee It’s brutal to be honest, but
      1.) Apply, apply , apply (for context, I sent well over 100 applications within a six month span.)
      2.) Reach out to employers directly if you can.
      3.) Use every recruiter site possible; Linkedin, Handshake, Indeed, zip recruiter.
      4.) Search for part time positions if possible since there are more reasonable to hire a college student.
      5.) Negotiate (companies love to rip people off so if you’re really to do the same job as someone else for less pay then a company may be willing to take you on. For context, the position I got was marked for $30 dollars an hour but I offer to work for $16 instead and their were more than happy to rip me off… I mean give me work experience.
      6.) I made my resume sound better than it was, I made it seem like I work with computers at my old job which was a server position when in reality I just use a machine to ring up customer food tickets.
      7.) I change my school schedule to make this job/internship work with my school schedule. I made sure to take classes online when I can and when I had to take them in person, I took them at night mostly or only on two days of the week.
      If I were to say securing internships and part time jobs during college was easy, I’ll be lying. It took be six months to find my first career focus job and I had to do a lot to get it from be willing to work for less, change my school schedule and altering my resume.

    I remember when I finished college 8 years ago. I have a bachelor in animation, an associate grade in graphic designs, but when I finished college in 2016, I didn't know what to do after I finished, I was looking for many jobs, even in graphic designs, later they're gonna me, 🙄🙄🙄🙄😒😒😒 Yeah right. That's all ever say, "We'll call you". Also I can't have a job because I have no experience, how are you gonna get a job if you don't have experience? Also I don't think it's fair you can't get a job about something you learned in college.

    I think that college shouldn’t be pushed upon students by teachers and society… each person has their own path and college isn’t for everyone
    Though I do value education and my own degree, but I don’t know if I would’ve chosen this path of it weren’t for societal expectations 😊
