Graduating and getting out on your own is a difficult step to make.
There are a lot of things that you have to take into perspective to
become independent. Choices that you make when you get out of
high school, believe it or not are crucial and life altering. Decisions
that you have to make are ones like what you want your career to
be, where you want to live, and a big decision is buying a house. In
making these decisions you have to do a lot of research and things
to be prepared. I definitely believe when students graduate from
college, it puts them in a position where they have to have this
mentality that are they going to have to keep relying on their
parents to support them, or will they find a good job so they can
survive and be independent on their own? A lot of majors that
university offers don’t have graduate programs where students are
guaranteed jobs. Most students who graduate from college are left
out with no jobs and only a degree to rely on which doesn’t get
them too far. According to the article Unemployment Rate For College Grads Is Highest Since 1970
by Paul Davidson USA Today, the jobless rate for Americans with
at least a bachelor's degree rose to 5.1%, the highest since
1970 when records were first kept. Most jobs now days require
your Masters or at least some graduate schooling which is why I
don’t think college is really for everyone. In order to be successful
in this world, you have to have an education yes, but at the same
time a lot of people who do graduate can’t say they accomplished
much because their still not at the point in their life where they
want to be. Being independent comes with responsibilities that you
have to be prepared for not only for now, but in the future as well.
People don’t realize that, but I’m glad my parents taught me at a
young age to focus on what’s important in life which are education
and a great career goal. You can never go wrong with having that
mentality.

Good info. I agree with you. It is hard to figure out what you want to do in life especially trying to find a good paying job. I like that you have a good amount of research in this. Do you know the percentage of college students that don’t have a job when they graduate? Nice post!!!
