Just a thought

Its not a secret that we are living in the time of the great recession. Unemployment is at 8.7%. Now this isn't as high as it was a few years ago but its not low by far. It is really scary for people like me and you, when I say me and you I am referring to students close to graduating. It seems as if a college degree does not automatically mean you will be employed anymore. Now days it takes a lot more to succeed in the job market. I am just so happy that I attend such a great university. Michigan State University provides you with so many resources and opportunities to help make yourself more favorable in this job market. 

Here is a clip of some of your fellow Spartans who are proving that we can still make our dreams come true.

Now I know these students are not the average graduate. Some would even say they are lucky to graduate with employment. But isn't that the reason we all became Spartans in the first place. WE ARE NOT THE SAME WE ARE SPARTANS!!!! I just want all my fellow peers to not look at the statistics and say whats not available, and look at themselves and go out and get what is or if you have that drive make your own way. Well thats just what I think.
