Jobs for college graduates are harder to find than ever. Unless you always dreamed of working at McDonald's or the Gap, you're probably not going to find that $40,000 per year job your counselors promised you'd find when you enrolled in college. Disappointed? You should be if you paid several thousand dollars for a two or four-year degree that won't get you any closer to a job in your field than you were before you graduated.
I admit, I was at a loss for what to do myself when I graduated college. I graduated from a university with my Bachelor's degree in communications and didn't have any prospects for a high-paying job. I was pretty much left to find my own way. Sure, I could get part-time work that paid almost nothing at my local mall, but that's hardly a route I was willing to take as a college graduate.

Then a friend of mine (yeah - a real friend, not the "made up" kind people use as a reference) told me about a high-paying writing company online. I could work from home and claim as many job assignments as I could handle. I was a little skeptical at first, but as I had nothing to lose, I signed up right away.
My biggest worry was, what qualifications do I need to have for this job? I had some previous writing experience at a different company plus some experience writing for my school, but nothing highly professional. My friend told me the company was really just looking for writing experience in general - even if I only had experience blogging.
So I sat down at my computer and punched out a résumé in half an hour. I looked through some of my previously written articles for a good example of my writing talent, proofed it over and over and finally submitted my application.
I expected to wait for days or weeks before I heard back from the company. So it came as a complete shock when I looked at my inbox half an hour later and saw an email from the company. They accepted me almost instantly! Looked like I was set for a job after all.
Next morning, I got up, showered and again sat down at my computer. I opened up the assignment desk on the writing company's website, expecting to choose from just a couple assignments. There were 150,000 writing assignments to choose from! No joke!
This plethora of work possibilities got me thinking - there must be thousands of college graduates just like me who need part-time or full-time jobs just like this one. There's no way even 1,000 writers could ever claim 150,000 writing assignments at a time - there's an opportunity here for jobs for college graduates!
I'm a living example of a successful college graduate who got a job as a freelance writer and loves it. Of course, it comes with challenges, but in this economy, I'm thankful to wake up to a job every morning.
Here's just a few of the perks I enjoy at the online publishing companies I work for:
1. $1500+ per month
2. Health and optometry insurance eligibility
3. 200,000+ assignments to choose from daily
4. Recurring income on articles that pay per view
5. High-paying assignments as a featured writer
