I'm the first in my family to go to university, and frankly, I thought that it would prepare me for a job. The last two years however, I've found out that that's not the case. I've since then done a lot to try to make up for this "naivity", but so far I haven't been able to position myself any better. Also, I'm all alone in figuring these things out as university doesn't provide any feedback during the first many years because of cutbacks.
I'm optimistic that I'll find a job, but I'm also painfully aware of the fact that other educations hold much greater value for society than mine.
