Uncertain Future

The future is here.  I've spent years planning what I would do after I graduated college.  College is over, and I'm now an official college graduate.  I still have to attend the ceremony of course.  To be honest, I'm a little scared.

 I went to school to get my degree in Journalism.  I love to write and I love to meet new people.  I spent about six months writing for my school paper.  I had a lot of fun doing it, so I know I'm on the right track on what I want to do for a living.

But lately I've been worried.  What if I don't get a job in my field?  What if all that time and money I spent in college turns out to be a total waste?  I know there are a lot of people out there who have their degrees but haven't found a job in their desired field.

I have to be patient.  I have to keep trying.  The important thing is that I went to college and got an education.  Yes, my prospects are pretty slim right now.  But the future would be a lot darker if I didn't go to college.  No matter what I have to keep trying.  I've come way too far to just give up.
