I graduated with a BS in computer science in 2003. It took me a few months to find a job: I was a very attractive candidate. I don't have a lot of sympathy when it takes specialized candidates a few months to find work. I took the attitude that I would be working for my entire career, and that it didn't matter if I took some time to enjoy myself. I don't regret it. More importantly: A degree isn't a guarantee of work. We often forget that there is some risk in getting a fancy degree in a particular field.
