i know how you feel. i got lucky and knew someone that owned a company and got in that way. otherwise, i'd still be stuck in my current job hating it.

The economy sucks! :down: Most companies are afraid to begin a new position. So instead, they combine it with the next higher job, and hire someone with experience.

I've noticed since Bush began office, available jobs have become less common, higher paying and fewer jobs seems to be the deal, its funny cause its suits like him that got us into this mess......lemme rephrase that, its idiot suits like him on wall street that caused this mess

not exactly... it was the inexperienced day trader types trading intangible internet stocks that got us into this mess. what goes up must come down. we're just on the down swing(which started while clinton was still in office by the way)

I graduated in April, had been looking for a job since Dec., just got hired in June. I sent out over 800 resumes and wrote 200+ unique cover letters, to give an idea. And that's in finance, which wasn't hit as hard as some other areas.

I am in Accounting....and I'll be joining you soon Duck. I know I will probably have to take a large pay cut and do some interships when I am close to graduating.

this economy is not caused by bush, it is not caused by 9-11, or greenspan, or any of that. stop passing blame, its caused by everyone of us, all the ones of us in the middle class poorly managing our finances.

btw, the economy is at a 3-5 year high right now, and tech CEO's are complaining of how tough it is to get new hires.

the recession ended 20 months ago...

:werd: and not just in CA either.

Of course there are some areas there it's booming but overall as a whole, US is still in a recession.
