And to be honest, I don't think I'm making too much more money than my friends who experimented in different job fields. bottom line: I can't wait for the baby boomers to retire to open up some upper level positions.

But it is understandable why young people feel less urgent in finding a career now in comparison to 30 years ago. it has to do with the job market being more fluid and less receptive to college grads in their 20's. All of this ties into the growing inequality debate. Businesses are finding it much easier to reward their more productive employees, which is likely to be baby boomers with mba's and years of experience. businesses simply find it less financially rewarding to invest money into 25 year olds. so college students have less incentive to quickly find a career more now then 30 years ago. And this encourages college grads in their 20's to experiment more in different job fields. great idea. college students need to be more proactive in finding their career.

This is why there was no point to us doing things stealth... because if you we have a good idea, chances are, there are some smart people who are thinking about it at the exact same time... .and... here you are! Someone just left a comment about what you're up to on our blog... http:://blog.path101.com. We're building a company around exactly what you've come to... that students, and really many other people, simply don't know what's out there to be done. Would love to chat sometime and see if there's a way to work together. Hi Seth!
