INSIGHT
Graduation blues,

—■ INSIGHT
For four years, CSUF senior
Carl Thomas has eagerly awaited
graduation.
Thomas has looked forward to
ordering announcements, buying
his cap and gown and replacing
his "my other car is a Porsche"
license frame to one dial reads
"CSUF Alumni."
Thomas has dreamed of the
day that he can finally put the
*:—I "«•« Now ihe day has
come, but it is not as Yiiumas had
imagined. The dream is turning
into a nightmare.
Thomas is not alone. More and
more seniors arc experiencing
"graduation anxiety." The symptoms vary, but ihe cause is common, "What do I do now?".
The most obvious answer to
this question is to find a job. But
this is easier said than done in
today's job market, and this is
making thousands of graduates
extremely nervous.
"I've been looking in the
classifieds for months, and every
job 1 feel I'm qualified for says
two to three years experience,"
said CSUF senior Nancy Jones.
"How will I ever get any experience if I can't gel ajob to get any
experience," Jones said.
As students gctcloscr and closer
to "the real world," the one parents and professors warned them
about, the better college seems.
"I'm not so sure I'm ready for
all of ihis," said Marc Lane, senior.
"All of my life I have known
what was coming next. I always
knew after high school I would go
on lo college. This is the first time
that I don't know what to do next.
It's kind of scary," Lane said.
Because of a lack of jobs and
increased competition, more and
more students are opting to go lo
graduate school. "Since I don't
know what to do next, I figure I
might as well get my masters."
said CSUF senior Lance Morgan.
CSUF alumnus Jandrca
Ouwendijk has been out of school
for two years. It took her a year to
find a job in ihe Los Angeles area.
She works in sales for a Fortune
500 company, but she says she
needs a higher degree to get where
she wants to go. Bui gelling inio
graduate school these days is almost as hard as getting a job.
Ouwendijk said.
Senior Karen Millshas applied
to law school. Mills said her life is
on hold until she hears a decision.
"I can't make any plans. This is a
very difficult time," Mills said.
"My fate lies in the hands of law
school admission committees.
"If I don' i get accepted, I guess
I'll have lo look for a job, but I
have not thought that far ahead
yet."
A career job fair will be on
campus Wednesday, May 11.
More than 50 employers will
be on hand to mcci wilh graduating students in die Satellite Student Union from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

professors.
"Even the name Jeanne Daddino brings a smile to your

After 25 years of service, Daddino will be taking a piece
