You aren’t the only ones. And how many applicants come in young with a flashy degree no experience and cant pass an interview full of real world work examples/questions.

Most of the smartest, best working, quality producing, WELL PAID people I know have little to NO degree. And to further solidify my theory, I know MANY people with major degrees, working in unrelated fields, have unsteady employment, lack luster performance and are struggling.

9 times out of ten it boils down to the person. You want to be successful, you will be, if you think success is handed to you at graduation the unemployment line is to the left.
