Today's awesome read is "The Lost Generation" by Peter Coy, which is in BusinessWeek.
I'm not sure why the topic uses the word "lost" because aren't all 20-somethings sorta lost? I mean, that's part of growing up. It's okay to be unsure now about your life. About the economy. About everything!
The article talks about the current economy and how it is affecting grads. I understand it's tough but I think that aside from the numbers, grads have dealt with stress, anxiety and depression long before the economy tanked. Indeed, these are things that "hit" 20-somethings even when they economy was great. (I know from experience!)
I'm not saying it's easy to get a job--but I am saying that this isn't all new to grads. It's always hard. Now there are some extra challenges, but I fully believe today's grads can handle it--and RISE ABOVE!

Way before the economy tanked, I went through a depressive stage...just not sure where I fit in in the world...what my role was.
That's what most of my early 20s was like, off and on...once my career clicked, b/c I'm very career-oriented, the rest fell into place for the most part.
Glad to hear that other people have been in the same boat :)
