good advice.Kill the pain of growing up and having your soul die..with mindless wanton humping.

that's what senior year is for...

actually what senior year was for was dooing insane amounts of pointless research in an area that you couldent care less about

im gonna say over 1/2 the people i graduated with in 2004 did not have jobs lined up

(surprised nobody's come up with that yet)

In all honesty, I've been in the same boat since December. Had to move and do a few other things; I've been looking for a job since about the end of February.

Take some time off and travel the world... if you have the money that is.

your college education obviously failed you if you don't know what to do next.

Stupidest comment in this thread.

I know what I'm doing for the next two years but that's just stalling for time. I have no idea what exactly I want to do.

Now that is something I'd like to do. If nothing else, pack up my camping gear, hop in the car, and explore the US for a while. Mexico and / or Canada, too, possibly.

I guess many ATOTers aren't familiar with The Graduate. They are too busy watching Fight Club.

Actually, I'm starting Grad School in ECE in August. I'll be at UIUC.

Teach Highschool. Complete the cycle.

find someone who will pay you enough money doing something you don't care about and give up on your dreams if you even had any in the first place. Either that or go crazy.

"There are so many hammocks to catch you if you fall, so many laws to keep you from experience. All these cities I have been in the last few weeks make me fully understand the cozy, stifling state in which most people pass through life. I don't want to pass through life like a smooth plane ride. All you do is get to breathe and copulate and finally die. I don't want to go with the smooth skin and the calm brow. I hope I end up a blithering idiot cursing the sun - hallucinating, screaming, giving obscene and inane lectures on street corners and public parks. People will walk by and say, "Look at that drooling idiot. What a basket case." I will turn and say to them "It is you who are the basket case. For every moment you hated your job, cursed your wife and sold yourself to a dream that you didn't even conceive. For the times your soul screamed yes and you said no. For all of that. For your self-torture, I see the glowing eyes of the sun! The air talks to me! I am at all times!" And maybe, the passers by will drop a coin into my cup. "

After four years, it's finally over. I finished all my classes and graduated with distinction. Now what?

Start a new thread about a console. Any console will do.

That's why you go for graduate degree (masters, doctorate) instead and become a teaching assistant. You get to teach the lower-level classes, and they are (or should be) legal 🙂
