At what age did you get your dream job?

[Iseechaos]

I will graduate soon and already feeling the post graduation blues. I'm overwhelmed by qualifications jobs are requiring, even for entry levels. So I want to know at what age did you finally found a job in the field you went to school for. Was it right after graduation or did you have to temporarily work at retail jobs until you got the career you wanted?

24 years old... Enlisted into the Marine Corps... It was my dream job... I was medically retired from my service due to injuries sustained... I wanted the full 20 years to retire but I am blessed that I am retired from working before I was 30... it's ALL due to the Marine Corps... It was like the job that just kept on giving... Sooooooo MUCH money... Free holiday dinners... Pay advances... Giant house... And now they pay me for the rest of my life... It was my dream job😞😭 💔 I wasn't ready for it to end... But I assume God has other plans for me... Good luck with life after college!!! I am still finishing up my degree now thank goodness!!! post 9/11gi bill basically pays me to attend... So I guess I am a professional student ahahahaha 😆🤦👏 anyways best wishes and don't overwelm yourself... Degrees don't carry much weight in the corporate world like it used to... People care are hiring their friends and experience... So make sure you are always networking and building your skill sets...
