          In The New York Times b-i-weekly magazine Upfont in an article entitles "Trying Times," author Patricia Smith informing us about how hard it is to get a job and pay for college and how hard this generation is trying to get jobs to be ahead in life.
          According to Patricia Smith, a soon to be graduate from New York University, Kacey Herring tells Patricia, "spending countless hours combing through job offerings in the school's online database. She's perfected her resume and gathered letters of recommendation. She's even enrolled in a job-search boot camp run by investment firm Morgan Stanley. So far, nothing has led to a job offer." Jobs are getting harder and harder to find and because some graduates wait to get a job till after they go to college, they seem not to find any jobs and then they go into dept. In the article it utilizes, " The U.S. economy is slowly recovering from the Great Recession."
          The youth today are so eager to get a job and be ahead so that they will have a job by the time they go into college. Patricia goes on saying, "More than 12 million Americans are still unemployed." Well today managers are looking for more experienced workers that they are makeing the college graduates work at hourly jobs like starbucks and gap. Patricia goes on saying, " Jillian Potter went to Anderson University in Indiana. she figured she'd have to borrow about $10,000 a year. But the tuition increased every year, and because she didn't decide on a major until she was a junior, she needed five years to graduate. Now 23, Potter is a social worker and she owes $80,000." People tend to go into dept. because college is so expensive that by the time you get through with one year you are already in dept. a lot. Plus, the amount to get in college is increasing that some people are choosing not to even go to college.
            Children today are so eager to get jobs today so they can start on there live. They are being more independent. In the article Patricia talked to Carl Van Horn he said, Today's young people are very focused on trying to work hard and her ahead." Someone adds, "I don't think this is a generation of slackers." Most of the teens today know how the enviroment is working and they know that it is hard and is going to keep on getting worse. So they are trying to work to get money to save up for things. Teens getting a job still is not going to help them a whole lot because college is so expensive.
             This is going to interfer with my american dream because it has always been a wish of mine to be able to go to college and it is so expensive now that I know that I have to go, but I don't know if I can afford it. In a newspaper it talks about how much people are going to have to pay to get into college and how some people are still paying for there college and there not even in college anymore.
             I know what I want to do, I want to go to college, but I want to find an easier way to pay for it without having to pay on it for the rest of my life, or go into dept.
