A lot of it is geographical too. I was born and raised in the Midwest from a firmly middle-class family. I went to college on my own dime because my parents couldn't help me, taking out student loans, getting a few scholarships, and working 40 hours a week as an assistant manager at a grocery store making $8-11 an hour throughout the 3 years I was working there. That kind of money was definitely enough for me to live as a broke college student, paying my bills and having enough to buy some beer on the weekend. If I was trying to do the same thing in say, L.A. or New York, I probably couldn't have survived.

What I'm saying is that it's not a bad idea to move somewhere which a cheap cost of living after college to get some work experience. Yeah it mostly sucks living in Nebraska or Minnesota or whatever, but if you can find a job in your field and save some money it can be a great way to get some work experience. After a few years you can have a car paid off and some money in the bank, then you can start looking for that dream job in Portland or San Francisco or wherever it is people really want to go these days.

If you didn't know what to do after graduation, you couldn't just sit at home and kill a year. You'd just stare a hole in the loving wall for two days and eventually get up and do SOMETHING just to stymie the boredom.

Its called television.

You would probably benefit from medication.
