What do you think is the average time for a college student coming out of college with a bs to get a job is?

Answer 1

I should already have the job in your hand or at least the prospect of jobs.

I don't have a BS or whatever, I was in the military for 20yrs, I was a nurse(LVN). I didn't want to stay in nursing, it would have been easy enough to get an RN degree but my heart was not into it. I wanted to drive a truck, why ? can't-say !

What I did was get a job working part time on week-ends driving a belly dump truck. I was having so much fun that I didn't feel I was working. When I retired from the US Army, the next day i started driving that same truck at full pay and making good monies. I was living in San Antonio, Texas at the time,Ft Sam Houston, Tex. SA was getting the growth eruption and trucking was good then as it is now so I did well.

You should have been to a dozen interviews and job fairs and whatever, even volunteer doing whatever you do to get notice ! You be sitting on your *** long enough, now get out there and make it, remember you still have all those student loans to pay off !

Hope only good things for you and that you make it. Hech you were smart enough to get a BS, go for it !

Answer 2

There are other variables to get the true answer to your question-

1) Job placement from the graduating college will increase your ability of getting placed in a position sooner.
2) Location in the United States where you are living… AND your willingness to transfer to wherever the jobs are (if not in your area) -- Including out of state.
3) Your area of expertise within your degree (and the Job Market need for that expertise).

It’s a good solid degree – that’s a given.
You’ll get employment -Just can’t come up with an honest timetable without looking at the other variables.

Answer 3

Depends on your degree. Most students have a job before they even leave college. This is from attending job/career fairs and sending out resumes before graduating. In my case, I finished my IT degree when the dot-com problems were starting to ramp up. Add to that the fact that I was looking in a saturated market. It took me about a month at that time even against those odds and it wasn't exactly what I wanted. But I'm there now!

If you're willing to work, you'll find a job.

Good luck! (And to answer your question, I'd say 3 - 6 months at the worst).

Answer 4

It depends on your major. I assume it is in business, although you didn't specify in your posting. If you majored in Accounting or Finance or IT, you should have no problem. Anything else and you just wasted tons of money.

Answer 5

six months. Depending on what you major was.
