Question

My Business degree feels worthless, no one will hire me and Im in debt...what do I do?

Answer 1

That is because right now, it is. With tens of thousands of people, with experience, having just been laid off by all the banks and the real estate industry, jobs are going to be tough to find until all of these people have found new jobs in a few months.

In the mean time, to work, you will have to cut your salary expectations and you will have to be willing to move anywhere in the country for work.

Answer 2

Take any job you can get. Any humble job, regardless of what your degree is. Take the job, hold up your head, and tell everyone that you are learning the business "from the bottom up." Read the book, "How Starbucks saved my life," about a former CEO, from a wealthy, privileged family, who found himself broke, with a broken marriage and an new baby to take care of. How he learned how to scrub toilets and mop floors for Starbucks and help himself climb back up out of despair.
