It's all over.
After years of false starts, mistakes, dropped classes, finals, and one HELL of a case of Senioritis...
I have completed all the work necessary to get my Bachelors of Science in Computer Science, except for some extraneous paperwork.

Congratulations?
What kind of "extraneous paperwork" are we talking about? Is there anything that can derail your good news there?
Assuming not, then congratulations! And unlike most new grads, I can't joke about your being unemployed, because you're not!

No way.
I've spent too much time. If/when this career has run it's course, I'll go for my teaching degree, and spend my retirement filling young kids with revolutionary and dissident thought patterns...

I and the education system parted ways many long years ago, and I'm sure neither of us wishes to renew the acquaintance.
In any case, congratulations, and I hope the effort proves profitable.

Im impressed, congrats
I always think about formal recognized education but remembering muy unfortunate highschool days and how my younger siblings denied any relationship to me so the teachers wouldnt kill them, I think I will have to do without. It takes a lot of hard work to do what you have accomplished, be proud.

now you can be outsourced like the rest of us!

Those two often move in sync
The unemployment rate only counts as unemployed people who are actively seeking work. It excludes people who would like to work but are not actively looking for a job.
When people hear that employers are hiring again, that tends to restart job searches and moves people back into the statistics.

Ben
