Good luck dude. I don't know what your circumstances are otherwise but the economy is indeed tough despite what anyone else may tell you--the labor landscape has changed. Plus I would think it'd just be difficult to be a freelancer, though you get that much needed freedom.
I myself am looking for jobs right now--I'm about to graduate from undergrad, and I'm hoping I might be able to get the sort of job I'm looking for in the future. Everything I really want to do involves having more experience, so I realize I'll be biding my time doing jobs that aren't necessarily my dReAm Jobzz0rz!11 (unless what I'm looking for changes in the future) for a while.
I'm also finding my own approach to college graduation odd--I am ambivalent, I'm going to miss New York (and I want to go back someday, though not necessarily live there), the people I met here, the experiences, that whole sort of feeling of being in the last bastion before I am compelled to assume a greater responsibility for my life. Yet at the same time I want to move on and see what the future's going to be like. Considering this, I don't have any real....strong emotions, about graduating, most everyone else out of my friends seem more emotional about graduating than I do. This doesn't trouble me, but...perplexes me I guess.
