WHAT TO DO AFTER GRADUATION ?

Hurray.......you have graduated now. Many people congratulate you and of course your parents will be proud of you. You are surrounded by people who are happy and proud of you but once the celebrations are over, you might find yourself wondering, what to do next????

Actually, something like this is very normal and is definitely felt by most university graduates. So do not worry about that, cause you are not alone but don't forget you have to fight that feeling. Try to start making plans for your future and do it right away. However, there is nothing wrong after working so hard during your degree, you definitely deserve a break. So, take a break and go traveling for a while to refresh your mind and energy. What are the next steps after that?

First, find a graduate job. As we already know, the first thing most student do when graduate is to find a job that suit their education. Which means you have to be prepared to face a lot of competition to get the job.In this case, certainly, you should know a lot of things before applying for a job, such as: how to make CV and Cover Letters that show off your qualities and professionalism. Then, when your applications begin to pay off, ensure that you are prepared for interviews.

Second, become self-employed. If you do not fancy jump into 9-5 work or you can not find your dream job, why not try to go to it alone and be your own boss. Perhaps you have a great business idea but the thing you should know is to be an entrepreneur or self-employed is certainly not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Beside you have to have big enough money to start a business, you also must have careful planning and preparation so that your business run smoothly. Perhaps how to start business can be a good reference for you. 

Third, further your education. If you do not have the desire or feel you are not ready to work or become an entrepreneur or self-employed but you have a real desire to study a particular aspect of your undergraduate course in more depth, then postgraduate is the answer. But nevertheless, study for a masters takes time and also money so make sure this could be the right choice for you.

Finally, indulge your hobby. Instead of thinking about failure and unsatisfied feeling, why not do the things you like. Your chosen path of study and career may not be the same as your hobby. Many people do not realize that their hobbies can make a lot of money. For example : if you like cooking, of course you can see this as a business opportunity. From this hobby, you can open catering, restaurant or collaborate with a supermarket or restaurant to sell your food. Another example are ; you like writing, you can spill your hobby by becoming a content writer on your website/blog or becoming a content writer for other people web/blog, in other word you can do internet business and you can also making a novel or book, who knows you can be like JK Rowling, Dan Brown, Ernest Hemingway and also some famous Indonesian writer such as NH Dini, Raditya Dika, etc. One more example that might be worth to try is being youtuber. If you have a hobby of making videos, becoming a youtuber is the right solution. It's no secret that many people become millionaires because of youtube, for example: Dan TDM, Shane Dawson, Atta Halilintar, etc. 

So the conclusion is, as college/university graduates your path to success is not only find a job that suit to your degree or becoming an entrepreneur but don't forget everyone surely has a hobby, indulge and pursue your hobby. I believe, if you doing something with love the result will be good. There is one sentence you should remember, "from hobby to business" which means you can be an good entrepreneur from doing the thing you like. Start from yourself then success will follow you and your degree is a bonus that will lead you to success.
