I’d say that one of the only downsides to this job is learning about all the awesome opportunities out there that I am no longer eligible for.

The more I checked in to this fellowship to write about it the more I wanted to apply. I ran into this inspiring blog, Beyond the Gate, featuring first-person perspectives from recent alums […]

Job outlook brightens for new grads _ just barely By ERIC GORSKI (AP) – Jun 9, 2010 To get a sense of the job market new college graduates face, consider the latest crop of nurses from Santa Rosa Junior College. Just eight of the 55 students are leaving with job offers — and that’s considered good news. Last year, no graduates of the California community college’s associate degree nursing program had a job in hand. “We’re excited that finally something is happening,” said Sharon Johnson, the program director.
