Recent college grads should take the stepping stone approach to their career and remember that their first full-time position is most likely not going to be their dream job – – but that’s okay! Focus on gaining experience and exposure with a solid, reputable employer or in a growth industry and the career progress will come. There’s no rush. You’re building your career for the long-term. Take things one step at a time.

I remember going through that panic-mode decision making process as well when I was a fresh-grad. I landed a job in a call center then next into a bank. After that I got into advertising. Currently, I am now in a start-up digital marketing company. A lot of young people here are a little culture shocked but I am always grateful for the experiences each industry gave me. Good read. 🙂
