June!..alreay!

Hello all! ! - )
How is it that it's already June 2010?! I feel like I've been asleep and just now woke up to another year that is almost half way gone!
My favorite time of the year is Summer! I know it's just beginning but it always flies by. Everyone is heading off to the beach, mountains, vacation, etc and enjoying themselves before the long winter sets in once more.
No more school, test, quizes, etc. and we have 2 whole months of freedom to find ourselves and a summer tan before marching back to school.
Those of us who have graduated out there I wish to say "Congrats!" I don't know about you all but it's been a long, dragged out year. I'm thrilled to be finished with the numerous testing, snowdays, bickering of friends, and having people take money for this and that. I think it's been a long time coming.
Only thing about graduating is you never see your friends anymore. You now step out into the great big world of work/career and you are busy 24/7 with trying to fit in with your new environments.
With that comes the pushing "groveling" of trying to find a position in the world of our extremely bad and depressing economy. That is the part that has scared me the most.
Every where you turn, it's someone else being laid off and you, the student, having to brave the world of finding that spot that completes all your hard work and your professional goal(s).
IF - anyone out there actually reads these blogs, what kind of advice could you offer up to the "newbies" in the professional field when it comes to exploring the professional fields and how to "glide" into a position without too many bumps and bruises? Or is there a way? I'm inclined to believe there isn't. To each of us, our own. We just will have to learn from our mistakes and keep moving up the professional "ladder".
Well, my friends, I will have to talk to you more later. It's been nice.
