Presentation Transcript

  1. Are you a typical graduating senior? • Been around 5, 6, 7 or more years? • Your student loan has more 000’s than the grand prize from Publishers’ Clearing House! • You’ve driven to campus so many times your car puts itself on “autopilot.” • You’ve paid enough parking tickets to have purchased your own private lot. • You suffer from “Senioritis.”

  2. Symptoms of an advanced case of “Senioritis” • “I’d gladly take a “D” just to get out of here!” • You would prefer to clean the john, watch grass grow, and go to class (in that order). • You dream about falling up the stairs, extending the wrong hand, and falling down the stairs after you accept your diploma. • You would rather be “Summa Cum Outtahere” than anything else!

  3. So, what are you going to do after graduation?

  4. What are your options? • You don’t have a clue! • Go back home and work for Auntie Em. • Start the search process. • Hope your current part-time job turns into something full-time. • Take off for a while. • Continue with school? (Are you kidding!)
