beginning of the end

After the crazy news of Merrill's takeover and the bankruptcy of Lehman yesterday, Wasserman sent out an email today regarding our full-time job search and how to approach this process with even more seriousness and flexibility. At the end of the email was this:

"Keep your energy level up and do not get discouraged. If you are feeling discouraged, talk with a friend or family member, a Wasserman staff member, or another professional with whom you feel comfortable. If you are feeling especially upset, you should reach out to the Wellness Exchange at 212-443-9999."

Wow.

Man, God could totally use this financial crisis to wake people up to see how much more there is to life than banking, money, careers, ladders... Maybe my classmates will actually pursue their passions now that it's harder to settle into a comfortable corporate cubicle! Haha, I should be listening to myself....
