I may be showing my “life experience,” but I was raised to figure out what works for now and to take those experiences forward to build on. Unfortunately, so many college graduates seem to believe that unless they get what they believe is their dream job right out of the gate, they have failed. They have not.
Zachary Peter’s exposure to the field of landscaping I believe is what works for now (”Zachary Peters recent graduate of Towson University, is having difficulties finding full-time job,” July 23). And, perhaps, as I am an advocate for career and technology education, he might learn that landscaping is a big business that can provide opportunities even for a mass communication graduate who understands the business and can effectively communicate on behalf of an individual company or even a professional organization.
Taylor Richter’s decision to become a police officer is one we should all be cheering (”Now is the worst time to become a police officer. Here’s why I’m doing it anyway,” July 28). Being part of a the solution takes time and he is willing to work to get there; building on the experiences he had as a student and will have as an officer. His commentary and thoughtful reasoning for making his decision tells me he will be an asset to the community.
