Unemployed college graduate

Question

I graduated from college in May. Thanks to Bush the economy is stagnant and I can't find a job. To make matters worse, I owe over $14,000 in student loans. I have to start paying on December 28. Are there any lucrative careers that are attainable? I have an associate's in engineering and a BA in economics. How do I go about getting a decent job (ie not Walmart or McDonalds)? Please do not give me an answer like "Check craigslist"

Answer 1

The best way to get a job is through who you know.  Ask if any of your friend's companies are hiring.  Maybe ask family, if you find a contact you will have much better chance at obtaining a new job.  

are you willing to move?  Some areas of the country the economy is very poor but in others it is booming.  Maybe you need to consider relocating.

Answer 2

How flexible are you? When I came out of college, I applied to as many company websites to make sure my resume is in there. Attended job fairs and handed out as many resume as I can. I also made sure I was flexible with relocation to open all options. Dont get a job at Walmart and McD... that demeaning for the degrees you have achieved. With associates, I am pretty sure you can apply for tech jobs in alot of companies and your BA econs in business sectors...

If you are determined to get a job, you will.

Answer 3

First of all your a moron. One man can't control the economy. He can only promote economic policies. As the person above said networking is a great way to find a job. If all else fails you can request to defer your payment on student loans.
