Can't Find a Job, Go Back to College! Part One

By Lauren Axelrod

The hardest fact about life is that it's unpredictable. Many times the state of our situation changes causing a down spiral of horrendous things to occur. Not only does this affect us but, it puts a strain on the ones around us.

From personal experience, I know how hard it can be when things occur that you think can not be changed. The fact is, it will only get better if you change the direction of where you are going.

Some of us, when we are 18 and graduating from High School say we'll never look back. Most students will hurry off to college and get a degree and not know where to go with it because our whole life has been spent living off our parents and not trying to hack it in the real world on our own.

Others, will bypass the entire college experience and lounge around their parents couches letting their education drift away into the mindless episodes of "Southpark" and "SpongeBob Squarepants".

I'm here to tell you that when something in your life changes like losing a business, getting fired, or even getting laid off there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

The same idea can be applied to the youth of the nation. When your 18 year old leaves school in search in search for a better world beyond college and beyond the everyday grunt work of a telemarketing cubicle job I believe they will find the light exists on a college campus.

Your greatest strengths can be explored and the experience will not only fulfill a empty whole in your life but, it will reward you handsomely.


Along my journey, I have met many professionals crossing the stepping stones of a new career. These relationships have blossomed into an online collaboration of writings, poetry, and historical pieces to not only entertain but, to educate.
