Interview with recent graduate

1. My student loan payments are
too high. I need a challenging job
that pays more.
I look at people who are doing
what I am and they have been
out of their program for 5 years.
Is there no future?
I want to be a manager.
When I started my MS program,
salaries were $70,000 now they
are $45,000
I don’t like my technical field, I
don’t know why I thought I could

Frustration,
fear,
avoidance of
reality,
Stressed
Is it realistic to expect more
money? Is there a need to
change careers? Already
have one masters. Can’t
afford to go back. I can
supervise those who do the
work so I don’t have to do
the work myself
