The perils of leaving college with the vision that your graduation will lead to a pot of gold at the end of the educational rainbow.

lyrics

I went to a little college in the community
For what seemed an eternity
The plan was to have a career
But that dream quickly disappeared

So go get yourself educated
Just don't be to elated
After you have paid all that tuition
Then fail your job search mission

I had nervous teachers that were adjunct
I had lazy ass teachers that only taught junk
Algebra had me in a deep blue funk
While that mathematics department truly stunk

So go get yourself educated
Just don't be to elated
After you have paid all that tuition
Then fail your job search mission

My internship took a tragic turn
While being a hot potato severely burned
With no opportunities and passed around
A situation sadder looking sadder than a basset hound

So go get yourself educated
Just don't be to elated
After you have paid all that tuition
Then fail your job search mission

My favorite speech was on graduation day
The Dean stepped up and had this to say
"If you don't succeed don't blame the school
While you drown in the labor pool"

So go get yourself educated
Just don't be to elated
After you have paid all that tuition
Then fail your job search mission

I passed my classes with high grades
During graduation, I joined the parade
An expensive game of charades
As I watched my sunny future fade
