Well it puts me above the poverty line

Got a job. Beginning wage of $24,000 a year for clerical work in the underwriting department of an insurance company. Not great, but full-time is full-time and will at least get me valuable non-manual labor work experience. Yay for that.

Thanks darling. I was getting worried that manual labor or call center was all my BA was gonna get me XD

It's possible that's all mine has done! OH GOD I don't want to go to work tomorrow. Monday was a nightmare.

Aw. Yes, at least I have the benefit of applying in a slightly better economy than you too :( So far most BA holders that I know are working shit jobs. Man, I think the high school counsellors were in on some giant conspiracy with the universities XD Shoulda done a trade instead. I could be a successful plumber by now!
