so basically your saying I'm going to college to get a job I might like. you graduate then what?

Question

What did you do after you graduated?
This super sucks... you spend all this time in college then they spit you out with kind of an idea of what you want to do if you can get a job doing it. So 3 years and thousands of dollars later, I feel like someone forgot to tell me something... So once I graduate. Then what? Really what happens after graduation... I'm supposed to just get a job and thats the rest of my life... am I the only one who is not ok with that I want to work, right out of college I think I need sometime to travel or something everyone thinks I'm odd for not wanting to start making resumes and going right to work as a entry level management trainee or something. Part of me wants to join the military, the other part of me just wants to sit on my butt for a few years.... I eventually do want my high paying executive job but I want to have fun and do interesting things before days in the board room... so what did you do when you graduated?

I wanted to go to northeastern but my parents said they would not pay for me to go out of state... I was 17 when I graduated and started my first semester so I could not take out a loan or anything like that!

Answer 1

I went to Northeastern University which is a cooperative education school, which means I would alternate semesters working and studying. I graduated and got a job almost immediately. That was thirty years ago.

I think you generation is different. Perhaps something changed with 9/11, but I know many young people who have entered the job force slowly over the last five years or so.

To tell you the truth, I cannot criticize you and, in fact, am envious. I graduated with some debt and needed to begin paying it off six months after graduation. In other words, I didn't have a choice.

I think you are right. Take a risk. Travel. Work abroad. Or, how about volunteering for a group like the Peace Corps or Habitat for Humanity. The one thing I don't think you should do is sit on your butt. As someone who has had medical problems for the past few years, let me offer you advice that youth and good health do not last forever. At the very least get a digital camera and get out every day to do a photo essay.

Best wishes.

Answer 2

Once you graduate, it doesn't really matter what you do. You're degree isn't going to expire. In fact, if you take time to travel and have fun or join the military, those are all GOOD things to have one your resume once you start job hunting. Employers will then see that you are not only educated, but cultured as well. I'm personally going right into the work force because I'm teaching and have to teach for two years before my credential is fully cleared. Some of my friends have gotten jobs with companies that they're not exactly thrilled with, but they need the money. If you have the means to travel and experiment, by all means DO IT! Like I said before, it will work to your advantage as long as you actually do something.

Answer 3

I had some adventures, both while I was in college and after I graduated and when I was working and before I had children and after I had children and while they were growing up and after they were grown up and after they had children of their own and I am still having adventures. Life is what you make it.
