“I’m taking an unpaid position at a non-profit in Newport for the summer. They’re providing housing, and I won’t have a car down there. In terms of living and food, I’m going to get another job waitressing or nannying. If the economy was different, it would’ve required more thought on my part. This is what I want to do, but it would have been tough to turn down a job offering $40K to make zero, you know?”

“Graduation plan? My parent’s couch. When I talk to them, they’re like ‘What are you going to do?!’ And I’m like, just relax and trust my survival instincts. It’ll be okay.”

“I actually feel much worse for the students that graduated two years ago, when the market was good. They had cushy jobs and now they either don’t have those jobs or are getting half the paycheck. They had the expectations. Our class at least had six months of knowing what it would be like out there.”
