I was lucky in that when I graduated, the guy I had worked for as a student worker had finally been forced out (fire someone from the union? I don't think so.) A few weeks after I graduated (at this point I was on special payroll,) the job was posted, I interviewed, and I was hired. The salary isn't the best, but the benefits package is part of the state-negotiated rates, meaning I have great health and dental insurance for less than $30/mo out of pocket and if I contribute 5% to my retirement account, they contribute 8% On top of that, it's something like $10/mo for 50,000 of life insurance.

I'm nowhere near where I want to be in life, but I can afford to get there over the next few years.
