Career
Little Bike, Big City
Submitted by JStrand on Wed, 07/28/2010 - 12:30
Today I bought a bike. I found it while dallying about on Craigslist - a beautiful, light-weight, one-speed road bike with a basket on the front and a bell on the handle. I got it home, hoisted it up a flight of stairs, and carried it across the threshold of my apartment with great gusto and no little amount of perspiration. I placed it in its new spot in the corner of my living room and I can’t stop looking at it. You see, this bike isn’t just a bike; it represents the setting of new roots in a city, of investing in a new life.

With two more years to go on my bachelor’s degree, these are five niches I envision my graduated-self putting my education to work.

The Dream Job

In our childhood, most of us seem to at one time or another dream of being an actor or singer. As we grow older, most of us realize how impractical these types of career goals can be, and we find new pursuits that are more realistic and more in-line with our adult personalities and goals. As a woman in the prime of my quarter-life “crisis,” I'm relishing the unique opportunity to reassess my past goals, present skills, and future plans. My 25th year may in fact be the very best time to look back at the dream jobs I've yearned to pursue in the past, and how they may yet apply to my future.
Girl On Girl Crime and Male-Dominated Culture

In response to The Atlantic article, “The End of Men,” it seems clear that although women may be hitting it out of the park in terms of facts and figures, we might have a ways to go before we convince people to change their perception of women in the workplace. That is to say, we might actually have to leave men behind before we are accepted as equals. This should begin by cutting out the women hating that happens all the time.
