I'm getting a bit tired of these articles. They are all the same -- some kids finish college, and don't have a job or many practical skills. It's not the end of the world. Suck it up, keep learning, keep working. You don't have to have it all figured out yet. There is still plenty of time.
I remember trying to find a tech job when I finished school in 2002 and didn't have any luck. Worked for 10 bucks an hour for the next couple of years and read a bunch of programming books to build skills. Another friend finished with a CS degree who graduated at the same time answered phones for 12 bucks an hour for a year or two. Another friend got an engineering degree and his first job was working for the city for about 10 bucks an hour for a year or two. Eventually we got more experience, talked to more people, and got exactly what we wanted -- it just took a couple more years.
