I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I am going to stuck working some shitty low paying job after I graduate.
Why?
For one, I have absolutely no relevant experience. I couldn't manage an internship this summer, and my work history? Catering, McDonald's, groecery store. Not exactly stellar.
I picked a very ambiguous major that no one knows exactly what it means and really specializes in nothing. Basically, I was an idiot and should've went with something like business that actually had career potential.
I go to a small college that no one has ever heard of. How many people do you know that went to Hope? Yea, my point exactly.
While we're talking small, who's ever heard of my town? Who ever really 'makes it' from a small town anyway?
I can't sell myself because there's not much to sell, and I manage to botch every application or interview that comes my way anyway.
10 million college grads, why would anyone choose me when they could have someone smarter, someone who learns faster, someone who retains vocabulary better than me, someone just better period.
Stupid me for actually thinking I could ever be somebody.

Dude... just get out of Bridgman and move to a big city. Like Chicago. We've got O'Hare airport (= customs and immigration jobs), and the corporate headquarters of a ton of international companies (= consulting on expansion ideas and int'l business policies, etc). And actually, a surprising amount of people around here have heard of Hope College.
I'm not sure I know of anyone famous who actually went to Hope, but I don't think "becoming famous" has anything to do with "being somebody". In any case, you have great potential. You just have to GO for things, and keep going, no matter how many times stuff doesn't go the way you want it to.
