We know what you don’t want to think about after college. You don’t want to think about the fact that you might not get a job, that you may have to settle into one just for the paycheck, or that you may have to move back in with your parents. Unfortunately, those are all very ...
You don’t want career advice from someone who’s going to have a career. They’re going to give you all the good advice, all the solid, soul-crushing things that hurt me to repeat here. Network, they say. That’s…that’s all I remember, really. After I heard that, I started thinking about sharks that were also ghosts (ghost-sharks) ...

Jobs. Usually when I really need to have something, I want it. Oxygen, for example. Or a hamburger. But for whatever reason I find myself cringing at the thought of a job- even as I’m well aware that, yo, I need one- and chances are it might be the same for you. ...
