Are you ready for the “real world”?
By Israel Ramirez |Staff writer| Many students who obtain a degree do not necessarily know what to do with it. This can only mean they are not prepared for what we call the "real world." When I refer to the "real world," I am speaking about the job industry and what it will take for us to compete with others in order to land a job after graduation. As students, we must be prepared to perform to our full potential. "If I could go back and do something differently it would have to be networking with other individuals and attending school events in order to meet new faces who could later be an influence when attempting to obtain a job," said library service specialist Manuel Veron.

Students remain optimisic about job search
By Alejandro Cardenas |Staff Writer| While the current job market has many uncertainties about its future, I believe students can take the uncertainty and turn it into an opportunity by taking advantage of degrees in high demand.

This means they’re either jobless, looking for work, or only working a part-time job. Even more disturbing, is 44 percent of recent graduates are working jobs that don’t demand a degree, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s January report.
