		<description>I agree with the author that one needs to know what they want to do in life before enrolling in a graduate degree. College education is expensive and requires commitment and hard work. To dedicate that kind of time and money to something, you need to be entirely sure of it. That’s why many colleges these days help students choose the right program for them. I found the career assessment tools provided by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cc-sd.edu/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;California College San Diego&lt;/a&gt; pretty useful in that regard.</description>

		<description>For your information, I&#039;ve spoken with several of my friends who are doctors or med school students.  Rest assured that doctors in the United States will not reduce their efforts to save you just because you are an organ donor.

Firstly, the doctors are professionals and do their jobs as best they can.

Secondly, they know that if people think this will happen, the number of organ donors will sharply decline.  The big picture would be that overall fewer lives can be saved.</description>

		<description>So you recently graduated from college or are near doing so, and the pressures to find a job are mounting? Don&#039;t worry, you are not alone. As a graduate from the University of Southern California, back in 2001, I too faced a tumultuous uphill battle landing my career after the tragic events of 9/11. The economy was in the dumps and no one really knew when things would get better. I began writing my book, I Graduated From College, Now What? in 2001 and compiled all of my life lessons and experiences of getting into a career and not just a job. The book also offers advice on transitioning into a totally new career. My book is currently available through Amazon Kindle or PayPal for $10.95.

		<description>I agree with this blog post wholeheartedly. As a recent college graduate I have been faced with all of these decision making situations within the past year. You have outlined them all very accurately. When faced with important decisions, the recent college grad is overwhelmed and cannot handle the situation. I like your advice of making a quick decision in order to figure out how to base your next decision. Great blog, I look forward to reading more about this topic in the future.</description>

		<description>Nice post! One thing, the organ donation research actually by Eric Johnson and Dan Goldstein: Johnson, E. J. &amp; Goldstein, D. G. (2003).  Do defaults save lives? Science, 302, 1338-1339.</description>

		<description>Your first point is so smart. Yet, I still have problems actually following what I know is good advice.  I wonder how many more times I will have to hear before I actually start doing it.</description>

		<description>From the time I was 18-25 I had 20+ different jobs.  i was trying to find a job that was challenging &amp; rewarding.  THe search was worth it and every job I had taught me some kind of lesson.  In fact I learned the most after I had found the job I wanted.  Luckily my degree in business management helped me out in numerous ways BUT everything I ended up learning was specific to that job.  Great post here.
