Tami Phillips, VP of Development for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles said:
The Entrepreneurial Spirit is alive and well! With jobs being outsourced overseas and the lack of loyalty within corporate America, I truly believe those individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit or those who want to control their own destiny will create their own future by starting their own business.
Whether tomorrow’s workforce will become small business owners or end up working for corporate America, they will want to make a difference in the world we live in. The ability to volunteer for a local non-profit organization is a very attractive benefit for those now entering the workplace.
Got Suggestions on the Best NEW College Grads Job Opportunities?
Marlee Miller, COO at the Progressive Majority in New York Said
Politics. It is a high growth area but doesn't pay a lot. It is a great field for recent college grads because they get hands on experience in project managment, public speaking, fundraising, writing, and more. It is a tough field if you don't like to move around a lot, need to "nest" and want security, so that is why many young people are in it and get out by the time they reach their early 30s.
Nonprofits. It is getting harder and harder to raise money for nonprofit organizations. Funders look for "measurable results", which are often hard to report. Again, this is not a high paying industry but with staffs getting smaller and smaller, recent grads will be able to gain a wealth of hands on experience. If you are in either communications or fundraising, the prospects are good for always being able to find work wherever you want go.
