If the graduate can afford it, I would recommend a year of rest and fun to re-energize after studying for years, then start seriously looking for a job. You can try working in different industries until you find the one you like most, or get higher education while working part-time.

I'm having a blast doing these things! I think the hardest one for me to follow is #1 as I'm a tad impatient and want everything to fall into place. Starting to realize that I need to simply enjoy what I'm doing each day rather than hoping for some miracle for everything to be perfect. All we really have is today.

I can say it from personal experience. Having raised in a cultured family, some boundaries and limitations are highly expected. But I earned my trust and I think my parents are pretty ok with my decision making and taking my life in my hands, my way. So yeah, I am excited because I will be moving out soon, and also I intend to look into a study abroad session for a semester before I graduate. Thanks for the good points :) I agree that until we take some risks in life and try different options, it is hard to know for sure what we really want in life. I can say it from personal experience.

Upon first job our of college, contribute to your 401k at the maximum you can stand, put the money into a good index fund, and forget about it. You will thank yourself for the rest of your life for your austerity. All these people talking about job security in other threads don't realize that you can take more risks with your job when you are rich. Its very hard to stand up to your boss and tell them that they are wrong when you have to worry about the idea that losing your next check could make you homeless. On the other hand, when you combine a good asset base with the ability to consume very little, you buy yourself the freedom to truly persue your dreams. 6.
