Congratulations! Now what are you going to do?


Ah, graduation. A time many college students and their parents long for, a time celebrating the disappearance of  college tuition payments, finals and worrying about bad grades.
 
But what about the ones who don't want to graduate? The ones who look at the "real" world with a suspicious eye and bat away it's advances whenever possible. I want to hear from the travel seekers, the graduates who might just decide to take off and wonder the hills of this world. 

 Or even the graduates (like myself) who want to feel out what our calling in life is but who are constantly shown the exit door because of our inexperience. The disappointing search for entry level jobs in this floundering economy seems never ending. We were promised college would be our ticket onto a smooth ride into reality, but as in my experience, once I was in college and paying tuition, teachers kept reiterating the difficulty of post-graduate success.
 
So, I open this blog to any recent college graduate to bitch about "real" world,  give tips to us not-so-networked grads on how to get started, or just to chat about what to do on Thursday night. I think I do not stand alone in being tired of the million dollar question, "So, what are you going to do now?"
  
There are a lot of us out there, let's get together and figure out...now what?
