I guess why did I even waste my money? I also only get part time hours .. I can try quit cause I have bold but I have no money or nothing.. yet some CEOs only went to college how does that work

Your poor grammar might be one reason why you aren't getting the job of your dreams. You certainly don't write like a college grad - or at least one who seems to have learned the English language; usuage, punctuation, etc. I suspect without your knowing it your resume reflects that. I disagree that you write at the 5th grade level; I think when I was in the 5th grade I wrote better than you do.

You also don't mention your major which is rather important, don't you think? And there is more to getting a job than having a degree. Personality is a factor. How you present yourself. How well you interview. The impression you make. How you dress and groom yourself. Eye contact.

If you live near a school which offers a class in preparing for interviews I suggest you take it.

If all factors with you are OK and it is simply a matter of too many applicants for too few jobs then you might have to consider moving to where the jobs are.

A friend's husband graduated from college with two majors; one of which was in computers. He makes a very poor impression and was never able to find the work he trained for. For well over 30 years he's been stocking shelves at Meijer's, an area grocery store. Still, I don't consider it time nor money poorly spent. He gained an education and knowledge - and knowledge is always with you.

Its common for some degrees. Some areas are just not needed. We have to stop telking kids to " follow their dreams" because realistically it doesnt work like that. I dont know any music majors who have good jobs now and I dont know any nursing majors who do not!

Consider going back to school in an unrelated field if needed. Community colleges offer healthcare programs that actually will get you a job and pay decently

Um, maybe if you had a worthless major and didn't plan a career after college that might explain why CEOs get it and you don't. You can study liberal arts and pay over 50k for it but you'll end up with a bad career. It's just reality that college kids should realize.

See, you're question is impossible to answer unless you specify your major. For example, if you were a Comp Sci major, then I'd say you must living in the deepest, darkest jungle in the Amazon not to have a full time job. If you were a History major then: reap what you sow. What kind of job did you expect?

The first thing you should do is work on your English. You are writing at a 5th grade level. This could be the reason you can not get a full time well paying job.

So what are you doing to look for a better job? It all starts with you putting forth the effort to help yourself.
