He is in the middle of looking into government jobs, he said, which entails a long and complex application process. Others don't seem to be as concerned with their career future as they are with the major adjustments seniors experience after undergraduate school. "It's a little scary after four or five years in one place," journalism major Jeff Wilson said. "You get familiar with your surroundings. You get used to seeing the same DeoDle everv da v." Former Student President Manish Shrivastava agreed with Wilson. "Anytime you change environments, especially leaving a comfortable environment like an undergraduate setting, there are apprehensions," he said. "Undergraduate life is so fun, I know I'm going to miss it." "When 1 go to graduate school, as long as I do my best, I won't really be scared," he said. Because she has a job until November, Debbie Drucker, a political science major, is not too frightened by the poor job market her classmates are facing. "However, I don't feel like I've gotten an education that will prepare me to do anything practical. Sometimes I wish I had decided to go to graduate school, so safe and secure." ers! r! Is!
