TRUTH: Post-grad life is awkward and confusing as we make a huge transition in our lives. We suddenly find ourselves having to be all “adult” and have no idea where to start.
TRUTH: The economy blows right now. College grads are finding themselves working as baristas to make ends meet and the media is having a frenzy about it. Job hunting has never been fun, but this is downright depressing.
TRUTH: Gen Y is quickly becoming an entreprenurial generation as we work overtime to create work out of our passions. Don’t believe me? Take a look around the internet and see how many digital entreprenuers are millenials. Or better yet, ask around the office. I bet most of your co-workers have some side projects they hope to one day make profitable.
TRUTH: Money doesn’t have to be complicated. Paying down your debt is possible. Budgeting doesn’t have to be a pain in the ass. Investing doesn’t have to be scary. You won’t always have to kiss your boss’ ass. Starting a low-cost side business for some extra cash is totally possible.
TRUTH: Getting healthy and happy doesn’t require an act of God.
TRUTH: Most of you are in the same boat I was in a year ago. Maybe you’ve had a long stint of unemployment or hate your unfulfilling job. You probably want to create work out of your passions but have no idea how. You’ve got some financial hurdles to overcome and aren’t quite sure how you’re going to tackle them. And you are most definitely in a state of confusion that has seem to become synonymous with entering adulthood these days.
I started Grad Meets World in November of 2010 after a long stint of unemployment, experiments in running a side business and feeling the same confusion that most of us have come to consider as a part of daily life. In the process I have learned a great deal about finances, career, health, entrepreneurship and hard work in an attempt to get my post-grad life in order.
I’m proud of how far I have come so far – sacrifices and all – and I am 100% positive that you too can start building the post grad life you want to live. It’s why I started this blog to begin with and it’s why I’ve been working my ass off developing a surprise for you all:
