One more final and I have a degree?

Tomorrow is my last exam and its kinda surreal to me. I'm done with undergrad? That's it? No more college?? I will miss it, however my biggest concern (we talked about this in class), is how unprepared college makes you for the real world. For the world run by "the man" (as Baldwin likes to call it). I mean what are the stats on the career center, how many undergrads were hooked up with uccessful jobs, any job via the career center down the zebra lane?? I mean you spend all this money, time, energy to make yourself this better, well educated, well rounded, eloquent speaking body of knowledge to find out that its tough getting a job. Thankfully I have one (although it's a temp job, it's better than nothing) but what about the others? Those who were told get your education and you're set for life! I feel college is becoming like an older version of high school, you can get too far with a degree....but then why go to grad school to hike up your loans, when you are not very sure of what you still want to do in life. And if the zebra lady turns up her nose on you, saying why haven't you figured out your life as yet as she silently thinks what a looser, just remember the zebra lady wanted to be an actress, and now she is pushing papers and some computer buttons, jumping through hoops!
