When you’re fresh out of college and entering the job market, the last thing you want is a job that would force you to live on your meager student budget for any more time.

The good news is, now is a great time to graduate. The job market is doing better than it has in a long time, and employers are ready to hire college grads and pay them the big bucks…or at least a reasonable salary that will allow you to ditch the ramen noodles for an authentic Italian fare.
