And I was like, "woe!"

 “Woe is me,” cries the college grad as he flips through the channels (daytime TV is so lame!) and eats Mom’s leftover fried chicken.
 
He pulls out his iPhone and checks his bank account. 3.54. Just enough to buy a latte! He heads to Starbucks and spends three hours  on his laptop looking quite busy and important.

He heads home and walks into the door the same time as dad, receiving a hearty backslap. “How’s the job hunt going, son?”

“Terrible,” says son dejectedly. “All of the executive positions in my field are already taken!”



To the college student/recent grad: Your cry doesn’t have to be “woe is me!” (rhyme not intended.) When you graduate, don’t be too haughty and highfalutin to just do something until you find your niche. You could learn some lessons, pay off some debt, make some contacts, and even enjoy yourself. According to this article, no one has a good job in their 20s anyway. Here’s to our 30s!
