RIGHT DEGREE WRONG JOB
By Kyra Kyles (pg.6)
Graduates say lessons learned in collage don’t always translate into careers. John Whitehead, 34, said, “It was a big thing in my family to graduate from collage.” but it does a little more than temporarily brighten his spirit and take a place on the mantle. He worked on series of retail jobs, most recently he works as a dispatcher for a Niles-based company. He is planning to invest energy and money to open his own marketing business agency. He said, “I figured the market wasn’t making anything happen for me, so I have to make it happen for myself”. Whitehead is just one of the numbers of graduated people in their early to mid 20’s express less optimism on their degrees and got tired of looking for a job. Statistics show that 50 % of the collage educated workers (25 or younger) took jobs that didn’t require a bachelor’s degree, including waiting tables and selling retail.
I’m totally agreed with whitehead, because now it is very hard to find a job even if you are educated with a degree. I know some professional girls on their mid20’s who are working as a nannies or waitress. That’s because is hard to make money or get a job, the market is reducing personal all the time. In other hand, that is a good tendency because now people need to create a new way to make money and also to get independence. I think is good because instead of being part of the old-fashioned market ( depending of a salary from big companies), now we can get a degree and get education in order to do what is better for us, I know that is very important to study something that we liked to do, and have more success doing something for our own.
