As it is still graduation season for some colleges and universities, I can’t help but to think back on what happened after I “graduated”. Lately, the job market has not been kind to anyone, especially college graduates.
I stumbled upon an article, that talks about college graduates having to move back home and the compromises made during the process. It reminded me of the 2 years I had to face when moving back home after going away to college. It took me six months to get a job out of college, but with the current state of affairs, who knows how long current graduates would have to wait it out.
Perhaps if there was a guide like in Seth Godin’s recent blog post, then things would not have seemed so bad.
Moving back in with my parents has been interesting, but luckily I’m not alone. When I started livingwithmyparents.com, I got tons of submissions from those in the same spot as me: unemployed and living with the parents.
