The After Effect
Upon recently graduating from college, I still find myself broke, not completely happy with my career and searching for more. When people talk about going to college, they never seem to prepare you well for life after college. No one told me that I would have to remember to pay my student loans without receiving a statement every month. No one told me that most employers are more interested in experience rather than education. No one told me that I would most likely have to stay in a part-time dead end job since finding a desirable job is like mining for gold. Regardless of what I wasn’t told, I learned from experience, and I’m going to do something about it. I felt I needed time to reorganize my life and start fresh, and usually when this happens I find myself at the bookstore. One book I definitely suggest, if you’re in your 20s and 30s, is Suze Orman’s The Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke. It provides valuable information that is useful and easy to understand, which is helpful if you want to start your own writing business.
