Graduating from University for many casualties of the upper middle class, probably feels a bit like running into a brick wall at pace; however, its the year which follows graduation when the purposelessness of unemployment really takes its toll. Speaking to a friend of mine on the phone about the predicament, she volunteered the metaphor "building a life/career piece by piece in the dark."
I prefer seeing myself in a field with two birds (career and relationship) circling overhead with a million stones at my feet that I am throwing into the air at random although most are useless and others are hugely misdirected. Only occasionally does one strike me on the head on its way back to earth leaving me momentarily unconscious before my absurd behavior begins again.
No Salinger reference intended. Happy job hunting.
