Recession-Proof?


As much as I don’t like to portray myself as a victim, I feel as though I am a casualty of the recession.  By all rights this should be an exciting time of my life.  I just graduated from on of the best universities in the United States.  I’m twenty-three years old.  By all rights, the world should be my oyster.  Yet, like so many other Americans, I cannot find a job.  Because of what’s happened to our economy, I am forced to compete for entry level positions with veterans twice my age.  I don’t begrudge them the work, as I’m sure they need it more, having mortgages and children and such.  But where does that leave me? Living with my parents?  They’re having a hard time too.  I know that things will get better, I just hope that it’s soon.
