<p>Neo- I think senior year is a bit more trying on our kids than we imagine. My d was really so unsure of herself and her future plans. I did not sense any of this worry or insecurity until she reached her senior year at college.
I think alot of our kids are really feeling unsettled about their future plans and it may not show itself until it is close to graduation time.</p>
<p>As my d was not planning to go into the corporate world, she wasn’t doing any fall on- campus corporate interviews.<br>
I think seeing her friends and fellow classmates getting suited up and start interviewing for jobs in Sept/October can make some kids feel “left out” and maybe a bit anxious as they’re not yet looking for post grad employment.<br>
Kids who are going the grad school route may not feel the same pressure as their post grad plans have been made. </p>
<p>For my d, it all worked out in the end. She really didn’t start looking for employment until the spring of her senior year. And she has been working for about a month.</p>
<p>But I did see her uneasiness during her senior year. I learned quickly to shut my mouth- didn’t ask too many questions about her plans- and hoped it all worked out. </p>
<p>so far so good.</p>
