The Right (or left) Track
Submitted by Rhiannon on Tue, 02/02/2010 - 13:29
Is the United States of America headed in the right direction?
What I don't know: Is our country's overall economic situation overcoming the proper hurdles that stand in its way?
What studies show: A recent poll conducted by CNN shows 8 out of 10 Americans say the economy is in bad shape.

Where do we want to end up at?

Is our country on the right track? Questions like these are often correlated with those that I ask myself when I want to see if I’m going in the right direction with my career or if I’m making the right decision when faced with a tough dilemma. I ask myself ‘Where do I want to end up at?’ and ‘What am I doing now to get there?’ So to answer the first question, I’d have to do a quick analysis on a couple of the most hotly debated topics: healthcare and the economy.

The Importance of Being Frugal

The economy may be a bit more stable compared to a year or six months ago, but the outlook still looks tough. Even our U.S. Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, is cautioning that the process of recovery likely will be a slow and painful one. The nation is still faced with a high budget deficit and a timid credit market. Millions are still struggling with unemployment or reduced income. Others are concerned about job security, home values and their stock portfolios even though the U.S. economy is growing again.

So…most of us go to school in the hopes of increasing our chances of landing THE perfect dream job and securing ourselves financially for the future. We’re told that if we acquire an advanced degree, enroll in top collegiate programs, and/or work reallllyyyy hard, we’ll be successful in life. However, as a recent graduate of USC, I find that truth to be irrelevant in this day and age.

The economy has crashed. What I often hear when I’m out and about is: “It’s such a good time to be in school.” It’s a good time to be in school if you have a rich uncle, or you can live with your sister for free. A steady paycheck and benefits would be really convenient right now. The economic meltdown has touched just about everyone, and for me it directly affected my ability to pay rent.
