Sometimes, I feel this school gig is useless. I never told anybody this, but I feel nowadays it is important to get a degree in and of itself. But when I seekids ___ for the difference between 3.5 and 4.0 and I just say whatever. The economy is getting worse. I 'may' be over-generalizing here but Idon't want to sit compete for a "vastly more selective job as compared to when Bush first took office" and be in the rat race. I feel like I wantto start my own business and I would be in position because some ppl coming out of college can't find a job and if I can offer that, I win because ofcapitalism. i skip years of the corporate ladder and i become a leader where i feel MOST natural. i don't know EXACTLY what business i want to start yet{most people would stop reading after that lol} but I can just ------feel----- it is the right thing to do.
My parents can't really understand what I am talking about; some colleagues agree with what I say; some are stuck thinking I'm going to get good gradesand automatically get a good job. Who is to say if the economy is going to get better or worse? I am playing on the safe side thinking it will get worse,especially all the information I am learning about how the government is much more corrupt than I thought. I am sure people are holding ----HIGH HOPES---- forBarack Obama but the trend doesn't seem like things will recover. Add a growing China, India, and South America rapidly growing into the picture.
I hear of college graduates coming out (4.0 brilliant students nonetheless) who cannot find a job. I don't mean to scare anyone. But for any of myserious-minded fellow amibitious college students who thought about this stuff; let's put our brains together. win-win scenario for who knows how manypeople will reply to this thread. together, let's find the "diamonds in the rough".
positives:
- looming baby boomers retirement
- technology vastly improving
- communication advancements
- real estate market is a dream if you can get funding
- so much information on internet
negatives:
- college debt increasing (tuition going up)
- countries catching up to us
- United States's government in a freefall
- banks being more scared about giving loans
- (might have to edit this bullet; our generation's population being larger than baby boomers meaning more competition)
Thoughts? Ideas?
