Work, study and what<br />
I made it into university now I need to make it<br />
out of university; but in the process, I might be in<br />
the wait due to one simple question: Now I got<br />
my degree, what is next?<br />
There are numerous things I could do after university.<br />
It all depends really on the process and<br />
the person behind the process. Typically, it could<br />
be work or an internship or studying further or<br />
even<br />
starting<br />
my own<br />
business.<br />

ca. It is<br />
currently standing at 26.6%, thus this could be a<br />
discouragement. But can I really be an employee?<br />
In terms of the skill set and experience? And how<br />
can I test myself that I am indeed ready for the<br />
world of work.<br />
According to reports, a good employee has<br />
strong work ethic: Setting and achieving goals.<br />
In fact, according to CareerBuilder, 73% of employers<br />
want to see applicants demonstrate their<br />
ability to work hard. Candidates who set high<br />
goals for themselves, or respond well to goals set<br />
by supervisors, indicate a willingness to do more<br />
than clock in and clock out every day.<br />
