Congrats, dude.

I was going to also chime in about the Temp Agency thing or in a pinch try job placement at your college. With a clean looking resume, you can ride the line between office jobs and light warehouse jobs. When I was a temp, I did:

• Fork-lift operator (several times)
• Order filling
• Drove moving vans between U-Haul locations
• Swapped images of children's ethnicities or inserted kids with disabilities in Adobe Publisher for a school text book publisher
• Data entry
• Direct mailings
• Event Coordinator
• customer service at the college library
• probably others

If you can't do internships in your preferred field, temp jobs are a good way to get exposure to jobs or industries, so you can be more confident that you are studying to do the thing you really want to do.

None of the jobs were glamorous, most of them were droll, some of them had some fun people, but a paycheck's a paycheck when you are in school.

You younger guys have a MUCH tougher job market in which to compete, so keep your chin up, always, employed or not. Things can't stay bad forever and staying with the folks a few years longer than you may have wanted to beats many of the alternatives, and when you get to be my age, you will definitely look back fondly on summer vacations, time at home with the folks, and low responsibility jobs.

Congrats, young sir.
