    Hi everyone,
    I'm a college student in my 4th year about to graduate in about 3 quarters. I am an E-Business Major as well. I have owned websites for about 4-5 years starting with the whole Myspace Resource craze, but have branched out in many other ways. I know HTML very well, can read some PHP, I love SEO, and Im extremely creative.

    I guess this is really about the market. As I go through my classes I have been getting a little more worried because Im not really getting a feel for what kind of jobs that will be out there for me... now I'm talking about jobs other than owning websites of my own. I mean working for other people in a real job. Whats out there. What kind of job titles with the type of knowledge someone with a degree like mine can get. Maybe it anyone has the same degree you can tell me what you do... I'm curious. I'm not worried about a shortage of things for me to do but I guess I just want a better idea of what to look for when I start my job search....

    If anyone could give some input to this then I'd really love to read it. Help Americas Youth lol

    Be your own boss..create a job for yourself. Make a site, do SEO, make profit.

    If you are looking for a job then you may have to join some .com company..may be an SEO company..

    and i knew i could start my own work but I wanna know things taht are solid money making jobs... like where i have a salary that i know is coming to me each week... i start my own thing and it can be good for a while then bad at other times... Im gonna end up doing it BUT i dont want it to be my main job i guess

    i think your best bet is to start a project yourself now and starting creating a job for yourself. Your real value is not in being a salried employee

    Well, those secure IT jobs perhaps? :)

    How about if you'd simply start your own thing. Pick something that you really enjoy. Something that you'd do for free and without money (even after 5 years). If you have that niche - you'll earn money at some point for sure.

    Taking action is the way to go. Things change.
