"The Golden State" becomes irrelavant

Times are tough especially for Californians facing a deficit and the increasing sales tax. In addition to the economic recession that's swept the nation and the world, we are battling larger unemployment gaps and stagnant salaries that are no longer conducive to our lifestyles. It's time to cut back and be resourceful. Californians must move onward and upward if there's any chance of thriving in this slump.

It's times like these when "survival of the fittest" rings true. Nowadays, what can you really get with a college degree? You can go through years and years of schooling, successfully collecting degrees only to end up working for minimum wage if you're lucky with tips, at a thankless and unfulfilling job. Unfortunately, it seems like people who end up making it without post high school education are the ones who are able to market themselves effectively also known as the ultimate bs-ers. People like that can manipulate themselves to the top with poise and grace, while the hard-working college-graduates who don't carry the same charisma and self-confidence fail. Is life one big competition to getting what you want or know you deserve?

Finding a job is like finding a mate. There are plenty of fish in the sea or opportunities out there. Some will like you, and others will reject you, but the important thing is to learn from your experiences and keep going regardless. A very important word to remember is "next," said a wise person who I go to for optimistic perspectives.
