Class '08 Plans for After Graduation

Monday May 12, 2008

I love this time of year. It's when I get to hear about the plans college seniors have for after graduation. Good examples of the diversity of options available that I've heard, so far, include a graduate who is going to work on an organic vegetable farm, another who is attending a prestigious law school, a Phi Beta Kappa grad from an Ivy League university who is joining the Peace Corps, someone who is going to Los Angeles to try his chances at acting, still others who are going to teach in underpriviledged schools for Teach for America, grads who are about to start a career in finance on Wall Street, and yet others who are going to teach English in China.

It's amazing how many choices are available. The different interests that different people have always surprises me, too. Every year, I read about someone who is doing something I wouldn't have thought of. That's why it's always important to research career options, decide what interests you, and to not be afraid (regardless of where you are in your career) to make a career change if what you're doing isn't right for you.
