Is it just me? Or, is everyone talking about jobs? Jobs will definitely be the most important topic during this year’s election and mostly likely a tagline used in both parties campaigns. Also, as manufacturing costs overseas rise, the U.S. economy will be experience an “insourcing” of these industries, creating millions of jobs…Here’s an uplifting article about the U.S. economy and jobs market I found in this mornings Business Week.
As graduation quickly approaches, I have obviously been doing a ton of research on the “jobs” topic. Fortunately, I am finding myself in a great position to get hired. Five years ago I made a crucial decision to drop out of Texas A&M University and move to NYC. I was unsure about “what I wanted to do when I grew up” and needed to do some soul searching. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE. As you know, the U.S. economy feel into a recession shortly after my move. I would have been graduating and looking for a job during the height of the unemployment rate…I, of course, did not forsee this, but am happy it worked in my favor. After spending the past 3 1/2 years at FIT and working numerous internships, I finally feel prepared to move into the workforce. And thankfully, it looks like the jobs market thinks so too.
