- psylence519 12y agoAmen. One of the best things a college career counselor can do is make sure kids know they aren’t special little snowflakes, or super rock-star A+++ awesome. It should not be a shock that an entry-level position is doing entry-level work.
- aepearson 12y agoAgreed. From what I read, career counselors (maybe others) are pretty horrible at managing expectations. The fact that you nailed a well paying job out of college should be considered a blessing/miracle/massive gift...not a burden. Work your ass off for several years and prove your worth. In reality, a degree means almost nothing in the workforce...it's just the price of admission. Real world experience is worth more than gold. Prove you have what it takes over the long term - and THEN start bitching about not being on cool projects :P
