May is quickly approaching and seniors are beginning to panic! The real world is one its' way! I certainly am, that is! What to do after graduation is definitely what is on everyone’s mind these days! Do I try and find work in this crappy economy? Or do I just stay in school and pray things get better?
I’ve been encouraged by several professors here at SU to not attend Graduate school right after graduating from college. So, I’m pretty much headed in the trying to find work path. It’s been difficult finding a potential job that I would actually be interested in doing.
I’m in marketing and generally, all entry level jobs are sales. I really do not want to do that, but I’m beginning to think that I don’t have a choice. If you do try and find work after graduating from college, just remember to do what you’ll love. Do not just settle for something that looks descent.
Know that the skills you are bringing to the job market are quality and you deserve to be compensated for the hard work you’ve put in during your college years. Do something you love and you will be satisfied in the long-run.
Im in marketing too and I agree that I do not want sales but its hard to find other entry levels
ReplyDeleteits true that you should (almost) never settle, but there's no shame in taking a bad job to help pay off loans etc. while you chase your dream career (as long as you dont get sucked into staying)
