“I just can’t wait to start!” the disillusioned graduate cited. “I had several classes my senior year that focused on project management and I think that’s going to be so much fun – bringing together all sorts of people throughout the company to solve problems and create new things…”

Still oblivious to the mountains of corporate bureaucracy and broken processes that will prevent her from getting any actual work done during the numerous mundane meetings in which she’ll call together people far too busy to care about whatever entry-level project she’s been assigned in the name of training, Poole seemed anxious to waste years if not decades of her life putting in long hours for a business that will regularly layoff dozens of her new friends and coworkers solely for the reason of maintaining consistent shareholder profits.

“It’s so exciting – all of the new people that I’m going to meet and the problems I’m going to solve,” told Poole, not realizing that most of the people she will meet through her role as a project manager will hate her and the closest thing she’ll come to solving a real problem her first year will be loaning her cubicle neighbor whose name she’ll never learn change for the vending machine that she’ll never get back.

“It’s like the whole world is my oyster, and I’ve got my entire life before me…” Poole mused passionately, unknowing that before her 20’s are through, she’ll have second-guessed her major at least seven times and if she’s lucky, opted to return to school for her Master’s Degree in a subject as far away from Business Management as she can possibly get.
