Job Market Shrinking For College Grads

[bond]

You gotta check out this article that came out on CNN today. It's about a 24 year old who got laid off TWICE. Some thoughts that came to mind were how much better teens are who are dabbing into business will be once they get out of college. They already have enough skills to make money.

getting a job after school/college/university is a growing concern all around nowadays. hell,getting through and paying the tuition fees for all these is hard enough-just look at all the protesting youngsters around the world right now.we were even warned about this possible trend of not getting a job after school by a hard up teacher at school recently!

This is my mentality towards working online - just because you study hard throughout school, doesn't necessarily mean you will get into the college/course you want and it doesn't mean you will move onto the job of your dreams. Nothing stays the same throughout your life, it can change at any time - I really love the flexibility of internet marketing, you work your own hours, don't have a boss and can really do a huge range of things as long as you are creative.

that's right. no need to tie yourself down with the average 8/9 hour job,working in a 'box' or robotically repeating the same task assigned to you(which is abnormal). exploring your options and allowing yourself flexibility is most definitly the way to go.

For you and me that is the way to go. Everybody is different though, some people think an entrepreneur's day is hell!

I agree. Keep your options open as you don't know what lies ahead or what will happen throughout your career.
