After college

[l0v3n]

Hi!

What do students typically do after graduation? Fortunately, there are many opportunities but how does one choose. What did you do after college? Or, if you haven't graduated, what do you plan to do afterwards?

My plan is prob to do a teacher training course, that way I can help people

The college will have an office with a name like "career, co-op, and placement." Look for it early in your program, because they can help you do the research before you head down a path.

They line up interviews, help you with resumes, run workshops, list co-op opportunities, and keep listings of interested employers.

A great place to do some research is Jobs - The Largest Job Search, Employment & Careers Site -- the department of labor site directs toward it. Once clicking on jobs, it can also lead you toward a salary site (ads in between).

Spend a few minutes every morning playing with ideas. Type in ten things you're interested in, and see how many jobs there are. This site is the best I've seen for jobs people would aspire to.

There are SO many jobs these days that aren't defined by a degree.

I graduated this past May and now I'm starting some pre-graduate work, getting a job, moved and became more involved in my church and community. Right now I'm debating doing graduate school next year or doing volunteer work/going abroad. For now it's trying to learn more about myself and where God wants me to go

Congrats on graduating, Beccafly!

I will be "in school" probably until I am in late 20's the way it looks. Graduating from one college to yet another college ---I do not see the tunnel ending for awhile.
