Candace Griffith - Life After College

So that seamless transition into that sweet post grad job has not
exactly gone as planned. After constant searching for that perfect job
in the political sector, I quickly realized that I actually had no
idea which area I really wanted to explore. It didn't help that the
economy was a field of dead crops and employers didn't dare speak of
hiring or jobs. So with my future looking grim I decided to say
goodbye to Delaware,Ohio and say hello to Chicago, Illinois. I figured
I could go live with my sister and work there over summer until I
could find a job in DC. I contacted Cate people in the area and met
up with Liz Moynier and Anna Paris :) After a very long summer in Chi
town I figured if I wanted to be in DC hanging in Chicago was not the
place to be. That brings me to where I a now, Bowie, Maryland.
Currently I am nannying, going through training to be a volunteer
firefighter/emt and studying to get into graduate school in the DC
metro area. I am really looking forward to coming back to the mesa and
reconnecting with all of you. Start looking into booking your tickets
and stay connected to our alumni website. Until then be well and keep
in touch.
