Life after College: What is it really like after you Graduate

Tweet

What is life really like after college? Probably this is not the question most college students would have in mind while still in school but rather on the question of what job is it that is waiting for them once they received their diploma or which among the many options of jobs to choose from and which to work for. Others are probably already thinking ahead of how much salary they would be receiving every month once they got employed. Although we cannot blame these students for having this kind of mindset while still in school and not knowing the real situation of employment. Although it is given that bright students have always had the best chances of having it better at life for their skills and talents, the same is also true among lesser bright individuals although at a smaller chance. One ought to know that getting employed is more than just about talents and skills, but a combination of many factors that is not always constant. Patience, effort, preparation, and good luck are some of them — Some of which may require greater deal than the other. You can call it a gamble at times, like a game of cards played right given the circumstances. Getting hired for work is a two-way transactions, not one. It does take a great deal of discouragement for some that is looking for work, the same setbacks apply for everyone especially in our present economic times. There are things however you can apply to raise your chances of getting employed, especially for an entry level job. With diploma in hand, right mindset, and the right attitude for work. Increased numbers of unemployed individuals in every country is a concern still of which part are composed of “educated” individuals with diplomas. But why is this so? Although the number of available jobs is partly to blame, there is one formula that sets the equation as to what causes high unemployment in every country: inadequate skills + insufficient jobs = high unemployment/underemployment. Do note that it is skills that are one of the highlight of the equation, not diplomas. Given so, it does not come as a surprise as to why “supposedly educated” individuals with diplomas are part of the unemployed. We can just assume that having a diploma is not synonymous to becoming a skilled individual in his or her chosen profession, at least as a result of the lack of working experience. Hence, even graduated individuals with diplomas are vulnerable to unemployment. Some works are paid more than others and that is the truth we have to face as we go through employment. But those that relatively do often require higher forms of education only some are qualified for. There is no better entry-level job position than what you are qualified and skilled for. What one should be concern of is which career path to take even before choosing a particular field of study at college.
