Advice for 2020 Grads

My sister just graduated from college and I'd love to fill up a book with some career/life advice for her. What would you say to the class of 2020?

My advice would be never give up no matter what , keep going you can do it don’t listen to anyone who says you can’t, follow your instincts and always keep your ethics no matter what others do .

Hey Sam, I belong to the class of 2020 as well and also to the class of 2009 which wasn't any better, so I will try to sum up what this has taught me so far: I can definitely say I am much prepared this time than I was in 2009. The fact is that there will always be uncertainty but difficult times such as these helps shape your attitude towards life and gears you up for future challenges. The next few months will be tough ahead but remember never to give up!

Get all the online certificates she can while they are online, attend online conferences to prevent using travel funds later- Check out Harvards online conferences and programs!

Great advice Akansha, thank you! I think it's certainly reassuring hearing that things will work out from someone who graduated in a similarly grim economy & working environment. My sister will be glad to hear it!
