Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Peers:

    Your degree is worthless; you won't be able to find a job.

  • How I responded:

    Getting a job just out of college is more difficult for a liberal arts major, but it's certainly not impossible. Your degree/resume gets you the interview. From that point on, it's all about how you market yourself and relate your abilities to the job in question.
