So I dont have to type so much, lets work in the abstract a bit
Let A = you graduate from college
Let B = you will get a good job
You are given
A --> B ("if A then B")

Converse is B --> A ("if B then A")
Inverse is if ~A --> ~B ("if not A then not B")
Contrapositive is ~B --> ~A ("if not B then not A")

Of these three, ONLY ~B --> ~A is logically equivalent to A --> B.
If the converse is true, then you have a biconditional: A <--> B ("A if and only if B" or sometimes written "A iff B").
