Views:107 | By: Winnie Graduating from college seems like you are standing on the edge of an unknown universe. Certainly, there is no more amazing sense of fulfillment than passing tests, receiving your degree on stage, and watching loved ones welcome you. When the celebrations are over, one cannot help but wonder, "What follows?"
For many graduates, this indicates the start of a new chapter in their life. The many possibilities that lie ahead make the years of education seem like a distant memory. After graduation, some may be eager to apply their newly acquired expertise. Anxiety and excitement combine whether one is starting at the bottom of the ladder or attaining a position in one's preferred profession. Textbooks ignore topics that include coping with business politics, managing deadlines, and transitioning to independent living. Some people, on the other hand, can choose that now is the appropriate time to travel and look for new goals. Experiences like traveling, teaching English abroad, or volunteering in a poor area might all be helpful. Travel's exposure to diverse cultures and lifestyles is one more educational tool.
Some graduates who are unclear about their goals for the future may feel pressured to pause. Before deciding on the next major option, one must set aside time to reflect and discover one's values, passions, and aspirations. Whatever your post-college aspirations, plan to keep growing and learning and, most importantly, be open to change. The graduate has total control over their future and many choices available.
