I have not responded to any topics on this forum in a while but I just had to respond to this one. I just recently graduated in May 2000. I have a degree in psychology and family development. I just knew I would get a job quickly in the human service field. I quickly got a reality check! Most of the jobs paying decent salaries require at least 2-4 years experience. The entry level jobs want to pay 7 dollars an hour (South Carolina)! I am now realizing the importance of job experience and networking. Some jobs don't even require a degree as long as you have the experience. I felt as if spending thousands of dollars on an education was a waste of my time. I am now working for a finance company. It pays pretty well but it is not in my field. I do know liberal art majors are entering career fields such as business, finance,and education. I just hope God leads me in the right direction. Here I was thinking that my next big obstacle would be expressing my interest to AKA on the grad level. I guess I better think again.
