<p>I can give you a little advice based on my older son’s experience a year ago and that of his friends. If you can stay with a friend in Atlanta temporarily or can find an inexpensive room to rent you may be better off there. My son tried coming back to our area after graduation and several of his friends did the same. They thought that it would be best to live rent free with their parents. Many found that the job opportunities just weren’t there. Mine and his roommate moved back to the city where they got their undergrad degrees. At first they lived with friends, couch surfed and had pretty lousy jobs. Both were able to find better jobs fairly quickly and moved into an apartment. It isn’t in a great area and they aren’t saving any money but they are working in jobs somewhat related to their majors and they are out and on their own. Both plan to go to grad school at some point in the next few years.<br>
Honestly, most of the students who graduated in the past few years are in that boat…it stinks but you may have to take a job that isn’t your dream job for now.
Another friend’s son worked at a temporary agency between undergraduate and law school. He was being paid ten dollars an hour but it was steady work. If you haven’t you might try the temp agencies. Lots of companies are hiring through temp agencies more now than ever.</p>
