I don't know why college students are so excited to graduate. Newsflash! The real world of entry level jobs isn't that great. Unless you are one of the few who knows exactly what you want to do with your life.
Take my best friend Megan. A real planner and the smartest person I know. She has always wanted to do something with food and sports. She had the right major in college and then went on to grad school. She is now a dietitian, is great at her job, and likes it. I'm so proud of her.(and jealous)
I'm unfortunately not one of those planning people. I have been reading Penelope Trunk's blog daily in the midst of my "what do i want to do" crisis. I have to concur that all entry-level jobs do suck.
They suck so badly that I wouldn't even consider applying for most of them. If I was seriously looking. Which I'm not. If I do a complete 180 I will be entry level again. And that would suck.
If I am constantly changing careers, will I end up at entry level jobs for the rest of my life? Or will I figure out what I am really great at?
