Hi Mike: Thanks for posting to Jobcase! Don't assume your degree isn't paying off because you haven't found a job yet. In fact, multiple studies have shown that people with degrees make over a million dollars more in a lifetime than those with high school degrees. Think of it as a long-term investment that will definitely pay off!
Instead of focusing on your degree, focus on your job search instead. Don't take it too personally if you're not getting a job offer - in fact, focus on the fact that you're landing the interviews! I also recommend contacting your college's career office and asking about interview training or any programs your school might have with employers. It's a great way to find new and exciting job opportunities.
Does anyone else have advice for Mike?
