congrats on your graduation! the it sector has been in a slump since the dot com bust...high turn over/low job security etc. during the boom, everyone saw it as easy money and flooded the job market...
i just graduated this may myself
. (bs in archtecture) thankfully i am working, and have been working during my whole college education to put myself through.
not to harp...but those that complain that they can't do it, the only reason they can't is because they choose not to. it took me almost 9 years to finish my degree working around 25 hrs a week and 15-21 credits a semester and i got married in my 2nd to last year and had a son. it doesn't get much harder than that.
i tip for those whom have/had less than atractive grades in hs, get your AA degree first...you can transfer to just about anywhere afterward! i barely had a C average in hs and got my AA with honors. i had my choice where to transfer to.
(almost) all things are possible if your motivated/determined enough and work hard enough
