College grads and the job market
Posted on Jun 30, 2009 under Travel | No CommentThere is one good thing that is coming out of this recession. Most college graduates are having a more difficult time finding their first job after graduation. This is forcing them to perhaps do something that college graduates have not had the opportunity to do in the past, think about what they really want.
Countless grads and people in general find themselves stuck in a job that they dread going to. And some wake up some day and realize that not doing something that they love is slowly driving them insane. So really students who are graduating in this current economic climate are quite lucky, if they think of it in a more positive way.
It’s not that nobody wants you. If the job market was stronger it’s certain that you would probably already have business cards right now. This economic climate is forcing people to sit down and really think about if their chosen career path is really the path that they can see themselves on in the future.
For Example, maybe you wanted to be a writer. So you are trying to find a job in the journalism industry. You love writing and want to find a way to do it every single day. That is until you discover that writing on a daily basis forces you to sit in front of a computer screen all day. And being sedentary is something that you completely hate. So you reassess your so called goals and decide you would be much happier doing something where you don’t have to sit in front of a computer all day and you can actually talk to people. So you decide that maybe being a teacher is for you because you loved your tutoring job that you had for extra income in college. So you decide to pursue your Master’s in Education, something you never had laid out for you on your path. This recession is making people think about a new path.
How about relocating to Hawaii? Or doing something you have always wanted to do.
Perhaps the beaches of Hawaii are somewhere you have always wanted to reside.
No matter what you do, remember a little time off can really be a blessing in disguise.
