[COLOR=#red]It's not much easier out of grad school, unfortunately. The job market is barren.
Yes the job market is barren...DEPENDING on your field of expertise. What many people look past as a benefit of going to school is the ability to get an internship. Internships are invaluable whether they are paid or not because they serve as work experience and they are many times used as a "working interview" (where they have a chance to observe your know-how, ability to learn new concepts, and your work ethic without the commitment of hiring you).
I had an internship with the Environmental Protection Agency...which led to a job with a defense contractor...which led to me going to Iraq do...which led me to becoming an Intelligence Officer with the feds. All of that came as a result of being in school.
Cliffnotes: (SInce most people can only read 140 characters at a time these days ) When the job market is "turrible" school is better because you can ride out the bad economy while making yourself more qualified at the same time via internships. BTW make sure you keep a 3.5 or higher GPA. You can do it, just stay off of Facebook, Twitter, NT, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, RedTube, Call of Duty and focus.[/COLOR]
