I'm in a similar boat brother. I went back to college as a mature student, got a law degree, with a very good average score, and 13th in my class over all. I've been applying for jobs for over a month and I haven't even got near an interview. I feel like I'm taking a shit from the clouds and hoping it lands in a toilet.
