Life After College continued

Now that school is back in session, those who have recently graduated may feel a bit abandoned (especially if you have not landed your dream job yet). Allow us to offer you a bit of company and guidance as you enter into this new season of your life.

It has been our experience that college does not adequately prepare you for everything life has to offer, but that does not mean that the resources are not out there. In addition to what we offered in our Life After College issue, we wanted to share a few other resources that can certainly aid you on your post collegiate journey (click on the bold text to be taken directly to the sites):

• Occupy you free time with the wisdom of Amy DuBois Barnett in her book Get Yours! How to Have Everything You Dreamed of and More. This book put so many things into perspective for me and motivated me to reach for exactly what I wanted in every aspect of my life. It's an easy read and definitely worth a few revisits. Highly recommended.
