I remember when I first finished my degree and was trying to get into work. It was in the early 2000s and programming was in a bit of a slump so work was hard to find. I took a job using a proprietary language 50 miles from home (Southampton). I eventually moved closer to the job which made me unhappy because I missed my support network and I knew it was a dead end because of the proprietary language (although I did like the people, they were good folk). After a year and a half I ended up moving even further away for the only .Net job I could land which turned out to be a complete disaster. The boss turned out to be a complete psycho (and I don't just mean the usual shouty type of boss - this guy waved guns around) and they had no real work for me to do. I canned it after a month by which time I was massively depressed. I ended up dragging my sorry ass back to Southampton and getting the only job I could doing navision development which is yet another career cul de sac. That and the next job were pretty sucky but I was able to cope because I had my freinds and family around me. I finally managed to land a VB6 job with a company I really liked who were just up the road and that finally got me pointed in a direction I could start building a career out of.
Moral of the story, getting your career started can be hard, even with a degree, and you're likely going to have to swallow a load of crap in the early days but persistance and a bit of luck will get you there eventually. And your freinds and family are more important than any given role because there will be multiple roles but only one family.

A little chilly, but definitely NOT bored.
It's been a little chilly the past day and a half here too. The high's have been in the upper 60s and the low's have been in the mid 40s.
