Introduction

Growing Up I have always heard my parents put an emphasis on the importance of education. My parents sacrifice everything that they had to send my siblings and I to private school; the public school system in our neighborhood was not that great. While I appreciate everything that my parents have done for me, based on where I am now in life, sometimes I can’t help but feel that my parents sacrificed their money for nothing. I mean here I am at the age of 24, going on 25, and a college graduate working in a job that has absolutely nothing to do with my major: Business Management Administration with a concentration in Marketing.

I’d like to think that I picked a practical major. I mean almost every company needs marketing and business management; however; I can’t seem to find any jobs in those areas. The only jobs that I seem to find are the jobs that pose as marketing firms, but in reality they companies that prey on recent grads that deceive you in to selling products like Verizon Fios, Nextel and other random products door to door. I have experienced this several times and it is so disheartening.  

I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jrene’e and I have decided to write a blog chronicling my experiences, thus far, after college. This coming December it will be two years since I have graduated college and in that short period of time I have learned and experienced a lot of things that college does not prepare you for. Life After College can be Frustrating and I hope that this blog will help you get through it.
