Over the past two weeks, the members of the College Money Network have published a series of articles related to Graduating From College In A Recession. This year’s graduating class faces unique challenges due to the economic woes that have unfolded over the past year. These college graduates are taking their diplomas and walking straight into something that no graduating class has had to deal with since 2001 — a recession.
We tackled a wide range of topics that we felt would be helpful for new college graduates trying to take their first step into the real world. For most of us, it’s a time filled with more questions than answers and more uncertainty than we’ve ever experienced. Hopefully, our articles will help you find some answers to the questions floating around in your head, or at least let you know that you’re not alone.

This kind of an economy does lead to it being a tough time to graduate. I think it makes a lot of people consider going to grad school (like me, overseas), but even that is no insurance that things will go smoothly. Hopefully, things will improve over time, at least… good luck to all the new grads this year!
