Career Center Unhelpful

After I graduated, I had trouble finding a job in my field. So naturally, I went to the Career Center for help, as it should still be an asset to me post-graduation. However, I was disappointed. I felt like a number, like I was swept under the rug after commencement. It’s as if the school's sole focus is to find new fresh and happy faces for their prospective pamphlets.

Most Work Full Time

Mostly, my school consists of working-class people with full-time jobs or families. They often juggle many different roles in addition to being students. While they are happy to socialize and make friends, this is not a priority. They are getting an education so they can seek a different life or career.

Unique Carpool Program

My school has a ride share program that is really helpful. One week when my car was in the shop, I was struggling to find a ride to class. Through the program, I found a classmate to share rides with who actually lived near me. We split the costs and saved gas in the process!
