Street Talk for May 11, 2009

“I’m not sure yet; I’m delaying the inevitable. I’ll probably continue with my education and pursue grad school. Employment rates aren’t too promising, so I’m concerned like the rest of us in this boat.”

— Brandon Wilk, Hartwick College economics major, Hillsborough, N.J.

“Well, I would be graduating this year, but I had to take some time off from school because my dad can’t afford for me to go to college anymore. So I’m looking at a lot of loans. But who knows, once I finish my degree, I’ll probably have just as hard of a time finding a job.”

— Rebeka Jackson, former SUNY Delhi veterinary technician major, Oneonta

“I’ve started looking around. I’m going into the trades. I’m a construction technology major. I’m about to apply for the carpenters union.

I’m not too worried. They’re always hiring construction jobs somewhere.”

— Kenn Pagano, Fulton- Montgomery Community College student

“Well, I’m going to grad school after this. With the economy in a downturn, I figure I’ll stay in college until it gets a little better. There just aren’t jobs out there right now in my field of study, and in general.”

— Levi Reed, SUNY Oneonta psychology major, Oneonta “I’m going to be a teacher, but I haven’t started looking yet. I’m an English education major, and those jobs are tough to find. So it’s a little scary.”

— Amanda Bowman, SUNY Oneonta English education major

“I’m a sociology major. I’ll probably get my master’s and become a guidance counselor, but I might want to take a break from school after this and see if I can actually find a job somewhere.

This economy has definitely affected my planning. With the job market the way it is, a job doesn’t seem like much of an option right now.”

— Brendan Hamel, Hartwick College sociology major, Hingham, Mass.
