Think of the career center as a resource- not a job placement service. They advise, they suggest- then they expect you to use reasonable judgment to make your best decisions.

It is clear you are upset. What you may not see as clearly as we do, is just how negative you are coming across. We weren’t there with you at the career meetings, so we don’t know why they advised you as you say they did. Or, whether they gave solid advice which you didn’t- or couldn’t- quite follow.

You are at a crossroads. You have a choice: mourn the challenges and get mired in that OR acknowledge the challenges, then face them square on and move forward. Think about that. Breathe. Make the changes you know you need to make. And move forward.
