Life sucks, get a helmet. Get over it. Been there done that - I graduated college in California with my little computer degree right after the dot com bubble burst. IT jobs disappeared over night. In fact, that's how I ended up working in this industry.

why do college grads use this excuse for their own lack of real world skills?

they are under qualified.
