In today’s economy, college administrators face challenges in guiding their students towards future careers. Jobs appear scarce, and recent graduates lament that their education no longer seems to hold the weight with future employers that motivated them to go to college. This article proposes that in the midst of the Great Recession, standards of success have shifted slightly so that having a job, rather than having a particular job, is now a mark of achievement, manifesting in a slightly more optimistic feeling about staking a place in the world beyond college.
