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.
Recession-Proof?
