Almost a Year Out of College and I've Landed a Job!

[bobbledude25]

It has finally happened...I have a job that is utilizing my college degree. Now the problem, I have 6 tickets for the Brewers game on June 1st. I now work on Sundays, how can I get out of this one? Suggestions?

If it's from a season ticket pack, you can trade the tix in for $1 each for a game that you can go to. I believe it is only for Mon-Thurs games though. If you really want the bobblehead that day, sell 2 tix for the price of one to a friend with the understanding that they give you one of the bobbles, that's what I had to do for the Prince.

As a soon-to-be college graduate (this friday) and one without a job in my field of degree, I want to congratulate you. Any words of encouragement or advice for me? Thanks

Congrats on the new job. I've heard of stories much worse than landing a job in your field a year out. You did well.

 

As far as the tickets, If you let them know ASAP and also let them know that this will not be a habit, you might be able to get them to let it slide. It really depends on who you work for. In some cases, I would just forget the tickets and go another time when I don't work. If they are more laid back, I would then ask.

Very good for you! Many of us (myself included) took over a year (nearly 2 for me!) before we finally landed one!

 

What field, if I may ask?

[PlayerHader]

If you are looking to sell the tix I might be interested!

 

Congrats on landing the job!

Sell the tickets. Your job is more important.

 

That's assuming you don't get any vacation time that you could use and would be willing to use to attend a Brewer game.

I've been at my first post-college job for about three months. It took me nine months, and it was incredibly frustrating. Congrats.

Congrats! I'm about to get my associates degree in broadcasting in a couple of weeks. I already work part-time at a station and have another job. No full-time openings really anywhere right now so I'm gonna know how you felt very shortly, hopefully it won't last to long. And after next May when my fiancee and I get married I will start looking for a radio job in a different area of the state or out of the state which will make it much easier.

it took me exactly 7 months to find a career. i'm happier than i ever thought i'd be living in my own home, basking in the warm carolina sunlight.
