Are you still worrying and fearing what you'll do after college?
Will you be dumped too into the pool of graduates who have no job?
Will what you are struggling with now in college be worthless after graduation?
If you are thinking like that, let me add something more hurtful: there is a high likelihood this will happen to you, just like other graduates in the street.
Because the approaches commonly used don't guarantee success immediately after graduation.
Hmm, but why not so effective?
You'll learn more about this below but first let's start with the way you can escape this trap which most graduates have fallen into.
If you want to escape this trap, just do this one thing: Start the hustle in college. If you can even start to do it from the first moment you stepped into college, do it, but don't wait until you graduate. Whether you want to be employed or to do your own projects after graduation, start to work on this now, while you are in college.
For all those three years (or even more) in college, if you use them for this, it is more likely you'll be ahead and different from those who started this hustle immediately after college. Even if what you tried failed, what you'll gain will be much more valuable than just mere certificates.
If you're in with this, welcome to risefromCollege. The platform and mission aimed to help college students fight this unemployment issue while in college and not after graduation.
Our core philosophy is simple: start during college, don't wait until you graduate to start.
The key is to start trying things which might lead to increasing your "employability" or developing your own project as a business while you're in college.
You #TryOutThings because we believe it's not a one-shot success thing. You make lots of attempts, and maybe one of your attempts might succeed and launch your career.
Even if they don't, you'll gain valuable experience and skills along the way—a far better investment than graduating without practical knowledge.
The key is to look for things which can lead to your breakthrough opportunity and try them.
For this to go well, there are other key ingredients you also need.
The first ingredient is skills together with knowledge. We call them #risingTools because these are the essential tools you should have in your backpack—tools you can use to grab any opportunity coming your way or fight any obstacle on your way. Without them, opportunities will just slip between your fingers easily. If you are not fully packed with these tools now, it's your task to go and learn all these.
The other ingredient is #Exposure: What you don't know so that you can know now. This can be eye-opening insights and perspectives—the aim is to equip your brain with a mindset that enables you to see opportunities where others haven't seen them or move away from the conventional mindset of most college students, anything which removes you from the dark.
Okay, to try to answer the question why the common approach of graduates doesn't work, first consider this general life model:
— For every success or anything we aspire to accomplish, there is a zero line where we begin the grind to reach there. To reach that level where we are satisfied, it often takes years with a lot of trials and full of uncertainties—luck won't be on your side all the time.
— Still, you'll need to work hard and creatively no matter what the circumstances—it's rare to have food come to your table where you have been relaxing.
Now, the reason most graduates have fallen into this trap and sometimes failed to embrace reality is that: as a recent graduate, the same life model principle still applies to you: it'll take years to feel happy that you went to college and got something from it. That's the fact and it's totally normal: "you are just beginning; things can't work out for you in a flash".
But we are still lamenting that we have graduated but without jobs. No, you'll get jobs but not that soon after graduation (if you are not that lucky)—but still this is with a precondition to keep the fight on every day.
— But what if we moved that zero line of starting back to your early days in college? What if, alongside your studies, you explored different opportunities—trying out new things to boost your employability or even start a project that could become your business?
— Even if you failed, you would still gain something—something that could prove useful instead of entering the world empty-handed. It would make your transition to life after college much smoother because you started sooner and not soon after graduation.
