I have the same problem. I have 2 degrees (BComm. Marketing and BA Political Science) I am 25 and I have 2 full years of work experience after university. I am struggling to find an entry level job. I have my Real Estate license and would prefer to do that full time, but I am not at the point where I have enough business to do so.

I went into a placement agency yesterday and they basically ripped my resume apart.

I am considering doing an MBA, but believe that to be a useless grad degree and not worth the money, as most firms prefer a CA or CMA over an MBA nowadays.

Alot of lofty expectations going into university in terms of what would be waiting for me when I graduated.

I suppose I sound like i am entitled to a living because I graduated from University, but with all the money spent on an education nowadays, that IS the expecation or else what is the point?
