Getting work doesn't have much of anything to do with experience, or education, it's more about who you know. Your network, who you know that can get you a job.

What's really sad is we have a whole generation now, my generation, that was taught from day one that a BA was guaranteed to get you a decent salaried position. That's not the case anymore. The reality is that a BA is a high school diploma, a Masters is a BA, and a PhD is a Master's. When a college education was rarer in the US, that diploma meant more job-wise. Now it's no more than toilet paper. Expensive toilet paper. Tuition keeps going up and the value of the degree keeps going down. It's heartbreaking.The only reason I managed to find my job is through a connection of my father's. It's a good job, thankfully, but I wouldn't have it if not for him. Good luck to all of you out there.
I've already given up looking for a job because I got a D in maths and english GCSE's. I hope to open up my own vintage video game shop, but everybody is putting me down, saying that I can't do it...
