This time last week I finished my degree..

I know I should be feeling elated and excited about my future, but I'm actually just confused and worried.

What now? I have lots of plans and ideas but where do I start? Especially as I have no money.. I know I'm gonna have to move home for a bit, I can't afford to live in Manchester until I get a job, and even if I got a job tomorrow I still wouldn't have any money on which to live till I got paid. And besides, I'm really worried about getting stuck in a job I don't really like, just because it pays. From what I hear, a lot of graduates have trouble getting decent jobs in fields they are interested in, perhaps this is the price of academic iflation..? The market is flooded with graduates, so what does having a degree even mean anymore?

I really like living in Manchester and it sucks that I'm going to have to go home and work for a bit because I'll miss all my friends and my parents and I don't get on if I'm around for too long..

Gaaaah.. I don't feel ready for the real world. Everything seems scary and crap.
