Can anyone tell me what life is like after college?

Question

I will be graduating from college in May, and I have no idea what to expect afterwards. Do you still hang out with your friends from college when it's all over, or do you make new ones? Do you eventually drift away from all your college friends? I've heard so many people say life just sucks after college, and I'm just wondering why this is? Also, my relationship just ended 2 months ago, and I'm not going to try to start a new one with anyone at my school this late. Is it going to be hard for me to find a good relationship without the help of the school environment? I've been in school my whole life and I just don't know what to expect......

Answer 1

Well I personally don't think it's all that they say it is. I have a degree in Human Services, and I know people who don't have a degree that's making more money then I am. I heard many Professors say, and even commercials on TV states about going to college and make more money...I find this to be untrue...generally speaking. I know that the stress level is much higher in the work feild with a degree that college doesn't tell you about. Yes, one may make more money, but the demand for having your work done, along with the work load is unreal. I also know of others who has a degree and they feel the same way as I do. As for the friends that I made at college...I have no contact with them. We all pretty much went our separate ways. I must say that I liked college and it was more of a personal satisfaction that I got from graduating, but as for being in the work feild...I hate it. The biggest thing that bothers me...is seeing others with no degree making more money then I am. Plus, not to mentioned having to pay my school loan back. I moved to West Virginia right after college, so I had to find new friends.
