I can't wait to take the risks, feel the failures and work toward the future. I only hope that I am more prepared than most of my peers who are now diploma-wielding waiters, bartenders and construction workers. I did not spend this much time and money to work in a coffee shop and have a nice wall hanging called a diploma. I want to use this knowledge for the job I studied for three years to hold. But the world is getting smaller and more competitive.
Success means more than what they teach in school.
The motivation, the drive, the sense to steamroll your way through your goals. Most students I meet lack this energy. They passively float through college and then with degree in hand expect a job to fall into their destiny. They don't even know how to excel above the norm and many take four or five years to graduate. Get done with all the papers and grades and leave.
