I am in the situation where i am graduating in a few days but due to my location will need money to get a car in order to look for jobs elsewhere (there is nothing for a full time graduate job in my local area). So therefore, I am trying to get a part time job so i have the money to do this. however, I am getting fed up of the look and response i get from friends and (particularly) relatives, when they ask me the typical 'what are you doing after you graduate' question and I reply by telling them i'm looking for part time work so i can get money to drive and expand my horizons so to speak. They give me the look of 'surely a graduate can do better'. when my mum was talking to my aunt about how i'd recently been rejected from tesco after 2 interviews, my aunt said 'surely she could do better than tesco'. Its got to the point now where i am dreading my graduation day and the days after, as well as talking to my extended family about my situation. The only people who have understood and supported my situation have been my parents (luckily) who seem to be happy that i am trying to find work, and a couple of my ex sixth form teachers who i bumped into the other day.
just wondering if anyone else has had to deal with this?
