College Graduation

College presents numerous experinces where you gain wisdom from the many lessomns that are taught in and out of the classroom.We live in a society that stresses the importance of an institutionalized education.Many students and families are struggling with the the insurmountable problem of debt owing superfluous amounts of debt through student loans.Many students have discovered that that they owe more money in loans than the salary they earn on their job.After graduatiing,obtaining a job is not guaranteed.Shouldnt it be though?At the end of the day,what is "secure".Unemployment rates are constantly increasing and many students are getting a rude awakening once they experience how the "real" world operates totally different than how school prepared them.Many minorities often go through the process of school unaware of their natural history and are taught to embrace all cultures .This is a good concept,however you must first start with yourself and understand hwo you are before others.Getting a degree means that you have met the requirements that have been set in that particular major concentration.Graduation on the other hand exemplifies hard work,diligence,patience and commitment.It says alot about ones character and the relationships that have been aquiredalong the way should be cherished because good friends are better than riches.

  1. Hello there!

    You are keeping in real because there are TONS of grads who think that they will be walking into their own office in a Fortune 500 company the day after graduation.

    My friend has an Ivy League MBA and she's been in a cramped little cubicle for the last four years at her job!! New grads have these pie-in-the-sky notions that a degree will open every door for them and they are shocked when they are considered "entry level" while they earn professional competency in their fields.

    Academic preparation is one thing...professional competency is another!!
