Some recent thoughts from a friend of mine (who was successful at finding a job when she graduated). A good reminder that there are other more heart-wrenching things happening in the world besides the high unemployment rate....
"So, it's been over a year since I've had my current job as an international project coordinator. I've had some great experiences and learned a lot in the beginning, but I've definitely had more than my fair share's of work problems. However, in light of all the bad news I've been hearing around the world and close to home, I've become more appreciative of what I have (job security) or don't have. At the moment, some of us feel overworked (with school, jobs, or both-eeek!) and/or feel unappreciated and underpaid (some of us even with no income at all). In these trying times, it is easy to be frustrated, feel rejected and hopeless. So, I encourage you all to read the stories that are being reported from Haiti and I hope they will shed some light on all of us to really be thankful and be as resilient as those who are much less fortunate than us."
