Life Transitions

""The real world is a big change, more then you can ever imagine when you are sitting in the classroom thinking about the outside world."
-Anonymous business school grad, quoted in a recent story covering life transitions


With the closing of my college career, several doors have opened in my life. Though with each choice, there are drastic pros and cons to certain situations. I have always read that the transition between college and the real world is tough and very stressful for some, but no amount of reading could have prepared me for this.

I don't know what I want to do with my life, and I feel that now I am searching for something that might interest me, rather than where my passion is.

Having to face these decisions and practically map my life out has certainly been a reality check. A good reality check, but a very stressful one.

According to Drs. Randall S. Hansen and Katherine Hansen, "...it seems to be a harsh reality to many college seniors and recent grads that obtaining a job offer is very time-consuming and a lot of work -- and it's even harder to obtain the ideal scenario of having multiple job offers."
