As kids we're told by our parents and teachers to go to college and
get an education. We are assured that a good education is the only
guaranteed way to secure a good job in the future. Most children

stage and out of the auditorium doors after graduation, most
realize that the bright future society promised is not immediately
waiting on them. The majority of college graduates enter the real
world and are faced with a period of self discovery. Why can't I
get a job? What do I really want to do? What makes me happy? After
graduating from college and not obtaining a job offer, the author
struggled to make sense of what to do next in her life. Mani Pedi

approaching a new chapter in their lives. With every journey in
life there are obstacles and if not prepared or informed young
