Jodi’s Answer

News can sound bleak regarding jobs for college graduates, but this is one of the places in your life where you get to make your own luck. Equip yourself with experience and knowledge and put yourself in positions to succeed and you will.

Internships or good work experience coupled with a degree will get you farther than a degree alone. Can you volunteer with a political campaign or in higher levels at a charitable organization? Can you meet or work with alumni that can help you into a career after college, or give you a reference? Can you leverage extra-curricular organizations in college to help? Can you intern somewhere in your desired field during the summers? Can you intern with a professor on campus during the school year?
