I am quickly approaching the point in my education where I need to start thinking about my future, and I would rather not. The end of my educational career that is creeping up is enough to stress anyone out; throw in getting a real job and paying off student loans.
People call it a quarter-life crisis, which is when you basically have no clue what is going to happen or how you are going to survive after college. I thought college was supposed to prepare me for my career, but I’m not sure it has not prepared me for actually finding my job.
Rachel Kanczuzewski is a senior at the University of Georgia majoring in early elementary education and Spanish who is in the same boat.
“I’m not sure exactly what I want to do directly after I graduate. Maybe go abroad to volunteer or something like that, but eventually teaching is what I want to do,” Kanczuzewski said.
