Seriously…. how does one do it.
I graduated in June of last year with a Psych degree. Good grades, I made Dean’s List. There seems to be no job out there for me. After 6 months of relentless searching and hearing literally NOTHING back from anyone, I had to settle for a full time $12 an hour nanny job to pay the bills. However, I’ve been told that this won’t do me any good since it’s not earning me any experience to lead to better jobs. I agree, but don’t know what else to do.
I do not want to go to grad school (my friends and I have already learned that college these days is a total waste of money, won’t make that mistake twice), but got a Psych degree thinking it was a good well-rounded degree and that employers would appreciate the fact that I understand people. I was wrong, apparently.
Please…. tell me where you would go from here?

How Does A Recent College Grad Land A High Paying Job (advice Please?!)?

I’m very sorry to hear that you are having such a rotten time getting a decent job. However, you don’t tell us WHAT jobs (fields) you’ve been targeting – nor do you tell us what made you take that subject and what you intended to do with your degree! The Fact that no one will HIRE you – doesn’t tell us anything – perhaps you are the worst dressed college decreed person there is? If you’ve been looking “ONLINE” and filling employment applications online – then that is the worst way to look for a real job. What did your college counselor tell you was the best field to enter after getting your degree? Are you getting any “feedback” from prospective employers? Something like – well, we don’t hire college grads – try so and so over there – he likes to mess with youngsters heads! FIND YOUR NICHE AND FILL IT! Human Resources – Sales – Advertising are open to new ideas.
Jump in a time machine, go back five years and choose a business or finance major. A four year Psych degree qualifies you for zero in today’s economy.
Your degree did not give you a marketable skill for jobs currently in demand. Had you taken Business, finance or accounting you would have gotten 10 job offers.
