When I started college about a bizillion years ago or so, getting a job after graduation wasn't the first thing on my mind. Honestly it wasn't even the last thing on my mind, nor did it fall anywhere in between. I had declared a major and I had chosen a career, not very scientifically I admit, but that was about all. I wasn't thinking about my resume or preparing for job interviews. I wasn't trying to find out how to build my network. I was simply interested in learning a lot, getting good grades and thoroughly enjoying the social experiences college had to offer.
College freshman today must be a lot more savvy ... or a lot more anxious ... about their futures, according to an Associated Press article, Colleges: Freshmen Looking for Career Advice Now. The article tells us that college students, who traditionally waited until senior year to utilize the services of their college career centers, are now increasingly visiting the centers and attending career-oriented programs as freshman. Many are interested in learning about what they will be able to do with their degrees upon graduation and making more informed decisions about their coursework. I wish I had been as wise when I was 18.
