I'm a recent college graduate from UW-Madison. I just finished a phone interview for an entry level position at a large company (NYSE traded). The listed requirements are 2 yrs lower than my education level and the job pays lower than I'd like (~25,000) but right now I only have a part time job and need both more work and health insurance.
I'm currently working as a page at the Madison Public Library. I interact with the public and like my coworkers. The busy work I do isn't very rewarding, but it isn't difficult for me either. I think another part time job might be better than a full time job I wouldn't enjoy -- if they would result in the same pay anyway. Health Insurance is the real issue but I think the first job out of college dictates future opportunities in some way too.
With the current job market it seems like I should take any full time job I can get ASAP. If they offer me the job, I'll have a hard decision -- quitting the part time job I enjoy, even for full time work. Agh! Economy!
