By Angie Magner Leaving college and jumping into the real world can be a frightening experience. On the other hand, if you know what to anticipate and have realistic expectations, the transition can be much easier.
College is a unique place.
Everyone in college is approximately the same age and has similar goals. However, most likely, your job will be much different. You will be interacting with a variety of people of varied ages and backgrounds. You may have to supervise an individual who is much older than you or work collaboratively with someone with very different views. In college you can also develop your own flexible schedule.
