Is it guaranteed that I'll get a job after graduating from college?

This relates to my first question, where I asked "How can I choose a major that will benefit me in the long run?"

How do I select a major that will benefit me in the long run?

I lot of people that I know who graduated college have degrees in fields that have absolutely no correlation to their jobs. I don't want to make that same mistake. I plan on double majoring in Math and Creative Writing. #math #majors #degrees #creative-writing

Should I get a job during the first semester of freshman year or wait until second semester?

I really need money both for college and for my pockets. I've heard people say not to get a job as soon as you start college and to wait until you get settled in and I've heard the exact opposite.
