Thing is, I already have a job. Sure, right now, I'm a part-time (paid) intern, but unless I slack off or majorly fuck something up, I'm pretty much guaranteed a spot in the company...maybe even before I graduate, if I play my cards right. Hell, I could even end up on our company's fledgling R&D branch. Even if I don't, I've made a good enough impression that I'll have several good work references and proper experience before I'm even done with community college.
[I say I'm a shoe-in because I'm on rather friendly terms with what amounts to the company's VP. There's only, like, two guys above him, and that's only because they started the company.]
