[Quiet Man Cometh]

To quote my dad and a number of other people I'm sure, you go to university to get an education, not a job.

I graduated a few years back with a degree in English Lit which is pretty darn useless outside of teaching. I'm actually planning on doing more school to pick up something that will actually get me an income. I really enjoyed getting my degree and I liked Uni but it's certainly not about to make me much money.

A lot of things can affect jobs, besides a degree, such as where you are willing to go, and what you are willing to do. I have an education, but little professional experience, so I'm moving to a rural area where my prospects for a decent paying job without specialized training are much better.

I'd suggest considering what serious limitations you have and what you can be flexible on when looking for jobs. A couple friends I have who are out of school found they had to start out with non-ideal jobs that experienced people tend not to want, and work their way into some seniority to move up in the world. For example, a new teacher got her first jobs in small towns before being able to get one in the city she wanted to be in.
