I have just had my first job interview in over eight years.
When the company I was working for went tits-up after 9/11; there just flat wasn't any work in my chosen profession; so I went to college and got a bachelor's degree in an unrelated field.
Since I graduated in 2005, I have had not a single interview for a job that uses my new degree.
Yesterday I got a call about a job using my previous profession; today I interviewed. Monster 1, college's placement office 0.
The interview went well and I will more than likely be asked to interview a second time. It's just ironic that I spent a large (borrowed really) amount of money to get a degree that should have led to more job offers and end up interviewing for a job in a career I had thought was dead.
