20. Why was it so hard for you to get a job after you got your degree?
I touched on this a bit earlier but I'll go into more detail. My last semester of college everyone was asking me if I had any jobs yet. Back then anyone with IT education was eagerly sought after. I didn't feel like interviewing and driving down to the Bay Area while still in my last semester. I had a few difficult classes that I was focusing on and figured the jobs would still be there after I graduated.
The timing of my graduation was aweful. Companies where laying off not hiring so it wasn't the best time to try to get an entry level job. While I was looking I worked at a Computer Networking training center doing administrative stuff in exchange for taking free networking courses. I was thinking about finding an system adminstrator job once I finished the courses and got my certifications.
I ended up getting a job doing technical support for EA and I was still working at the networking school on the weekends and evenings until they went out of business.
It sucked not being able to find a job but in the end I think things worked out well for me.
