how long did it take you before you started your career?

but i'd been looking for 5 or 6 months previously.
So before I graduated I guess is the answer to that - I then went back to uni and worked part time whilst doing a Masters as well.
If you know what you want to do i really recommend getting some experience whilst your still at university it will put you in good stead for applying to jobs when you graduate and if your looking for a typical graduate job will mean you have something to write down in all those horrible application forms.
I think that most people do get a job after graduating but it might not be in the field you want - I've got a couple of friends who had crap jobs for a couple of years after uni untill they got into the field they wanted - mostly film and television stuff though.
Me and all my friends did totally different degrees and none of us have had proper jobs since graduating. Most are planning on going back to uni to do teaching, social work etc.
On the other hand, when my boyfriend graduated he got a job doing exactly what he wanted straight away.
