I tried to get a real job after I got my degree. I went to so many places, applied to every single job that seemed like it would fit my degree. And no one would hire me. I'm not too sure why, maybe it was my lack of actual job experience. In the end I had to get a job at a restaurant as a waitress because I needed to make some money. I needed to get my own place. I felt like such a failure, though, when I accepted the job there. I mean, I went to school for five years to get a degree, struggled through the last three… to get a job as a waitress? It hardly seemed worth it.
