This is the bad news. The good news? Because "young adults may face a steep climb back to work as the economy recovers", some are deciding to volunteer. My son Christopher's girlfriend Shannon is going to be graduating from FSU with an engineering degree this year and is thinking about joining the Peace Corps. Christopher, in the meantime, is in no rush to finish college and is D R A G G I N G out his time at the community college TCC. Other students are looking into Law School or Graduate School as an alternative to the harsh new real world. Christopher is also thinking about volunteering for the Peace Corps with Shannon. I think they'll make a cute volunteer couple and, if I was an employer, would be very impressed with that on an applicant's resume. Like Mother Superior says: "When God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window."
