Speaking of recent grads with little to no job prospects...
My best friend graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management in May 2008. She did a professional internship with Walt Disney World in the Weddings department (June 2008-January 2009) hoping to stay on full-time or move back home to New York (Long Island) and work as an event/wedding manager. Disney had a company-wide hiring freeze at the end of her internship so she returned home to live with her folks while she searched for a job. After searching for over a year and sending resumes to hundreds of firms and venues, she settled for several short-term unpaid internships and a low-paying, entry-level position at the mall as a timeshare sales assistant. She continues now at this job and started back at her local university taking some pre-requisite courses she will need to get into graduate school. She is now interested in a masters in speech pathology.
