How long is too long??

I was having a cup of coffee at my local "morning go to cafe" today and overheard a couple of young, hipster looking guys discussing the job market. One of the "untucked, big collar shirt wearing guys" was saying that he didn't think that 6 months on the search was too much. Another was saying that he felt something should come across a "good candidates" desk in under two months. I resisted the urge to lean in and give my two and a half cents worth. After all who wants the advice of a 40 something when you have all the experience and wisdom that comes with having JUST GRADUATED FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGE LAST SUMMER ?!?

So...the question for today. How long is too long? Should we all expect to get a job within a certain time frame? Does it have to do with your benefits (unemployment, COBRA, etc.)? Is it dictated by your bills and financial obligations? Is it dictated by your wife or mother?
