Career Crime: Tuition Drain

You’re guilty if
  • You spend a lot of money and time on your education only to work a job that did not require you to have a degree in the first place – and you don’t like it
Sentence
  • You miss opportunities to advance in your career and life
  • You get stuck in jobs you don’t like
Avoid it By
  • Carefully choosing a relevant degree while you are in school
  • Diligently pursuing a job related to your background or that requires a degree and has upside opportunities
Challenges
  • Thinking you’re too young to know what you want to do
  • Believing that there are just too many choices
  • You are interested in careers that others don’t want you to pursue
  • A tough job market makes getting the kind of job you really want difficult
