Hey sally, first off welcome to Hubski! (Same for btcprox, who gave some good advice!).

I'm on the same boat as you in terms of graduating this semester. But there's one thing that I haven't seen touched upon and it's this bit of your post:

    I feel all my problems will be solved if I get a job that I love.

I would advise you to try and not feel that way. I doubt many people here or around the world have a job that they truly love, and tying that to solving a lot of your problems is not a great idea. A job is what you make of it, to a certain extent, and can be made better or worse depending on how well you interact with your coworkers and network. Exploring hobbies and interests and all of that can solve a lot of problems too. That said, I would definitely seek out people that you can network with that can help you get a job and build a professional circle of acquaintances and friends. There are many, many, many people that don't have a job yet so try not be so down about it.

Feel free to PM me, went through the whole job search thing during the last 1/4 of last year. Oh and definitely think about what _refugee_ said.
