Hi, I just graduated from College with a B.A. in Sociology with a concentration in Human Services. I've been a student for a long time, so It's so nice to finally say I have a degree. It's a strange feeling, but a good one to know that all my hard work has finally paid off.
Congratulations! And the hard part is just to begin--finding a satisfying job.
Congrads! but, as leebra lady said, the hard work begins now. Good luck.
Way to go. I actually graduated two years ago with a BA in Sociology and minors in History and anthropology. I seriously hate to burst your bubble, but the good jobs in that field usually require a graduate degree. I'm not getting one. At least, not in that field, though a culinary arts certificate or a degree in Hellenic Studies would be wonderful. Anyway, don't let me bring you down. Go for what you want.
As everyone else said, congrats. And good luck.
One thing I think you'll find as a side benefit of your college education, at least I did, you may find that you have discovered a new, more critical way of thinking. If so, that's a tool that will serve you well for the rest of your life.
Congratulations.
Don't pay any attention to anything Becky says (just kidding).

Thanks everyone,
The job search has already begun. I have just applied for a position as an information and referral specialist. I know the director of the program, having worked with her during my internship. Yes, believe me, I definitely had a few college-grad freakout moments. Luckily, in my town human services jobs aren't too scarce. I haven't ruled out getting a Masters degree, but I'd just really like to work for a couple of years first. I am kind of burnt out on writing papers and doing homework. Good luck to all you college students out there, keep up the hard work, and you'll be college graduates too.
Hi, BLW78. I was wondering how long it took you to graduate. I've almost completed all the requirements so that I may transfer to a 4 year university. But I'm hesitating because getting this far took me a long time. I know it will be worth it in the end, but still it's a big step. I'd appreciate it if you could answer this simple question. Thank you.
Well, I entered college in 1996, went for 3 years and took a year off. I went back for another year but then took 2 years off for family reasons. Most of the time I couldn't register for all the classes I needed cause they weren't offered in consecutive semesters. But, don't let me discourage you. Just keep going and I'm sure you'll make it.
