Job search stresses graduates
By Angie Bowers
Staff Reporter
Most college students go through
periods of stress during their trek
through the halls of knowledge.
But the most stressful time for stu
dents may be that last semester
before graduation.
And, graduating seniors say, find
ing a job after graduation is the big
gest stress of all.
Shawn Pickering, a consumer
science and education major from
Omaha, said he was worried about
what he was going to do in two
weeks.
“I have a job, but it’s not the job
I want or think I deserve after five
years of college," Pickering said. “I
think the economy’s keeping people
stressed out about finding a job."
Deidre Walker, an international
business major, said the pressure
on her won’t let up, even when she
gets employment.
“I’m still looking for a job," she
said, "and once I get a job I’ll still be
stressed because I’ll be trying to
perform well in that job."
Waiting to hear back from em
ployers is one pre-graduation stress
that Lincoln-native Tanya Chris
tiansen said she was under.
“I'm not pulling my hair out
about it,” Christiansen, a business
administration major, said. “But I’m
real anxious.”
Even finding employment doesn’t
assure graduates of a stress-free se
mester, Stacey Sattler, a consumer
science major, said.
“I’m moving away to a new city
and starting a new job, which all
takes money," Sattler said. “Every
thing’s taking money and I don’t
have enough.”
Doug Overfield, an English major
from Omaha, said that graduation
would be the end of some stresses,
but the beginning of others.
"Right now, I’m concentrating
on making sure I do graduate,” he
said. "Then I have to find a job
quick, find an apartment quick and
start making money.”
Concern about passing classes
has motivational aspects to it also,
Theresa Ballard, a news-editorial
major, said.
“I think the stress is making me
work harder because I don’t want
to flunk," the Omaha native said. “I
want to graduate.”
Overfield also said he was work
ing harder because of graduation.
“I’m applying myself,” he said.
"I’m doing better because I know
where I’m going when I graduate.
Sometimes the stress becomes
too intense to concentrate on study
ing, Sattler said. She said too many
things going on at once dragged
students down.
“I need to snap out of it and con
centrate on one thing,” Sattler said.
"I’m just kind of getting lost.”
Christiansen said she also had
trouble concentrating on her class
work.
“I think it’s stressful to stay mo
tivated because you know that in
two weeks you’re going to be done,”
she said.
Some seniors said they had un
easiness about saying good-bye to
friends that they had met in col
lege. Walker said not knowing when
she would see some of her friends
again caused emotional stress for
her.
Claudio Ravinet, an international
affairs and Russian major, said going
away to graduate school was a big
stress for him. Ravinet said he wasn’t
sure if he was ready to start over
again in a place where everyone
was new.
Gifts

such as nursing, medicine or law
often receive stamp art pictures 01
other decorative items with a theme
related to their profession.
Other popular items for college
graduates, Young said, include
decorative paperweights and bowls,
cashmere boxes, music boxes, figu
rines and ring holders.
Clocks also make a nice gift,
Young said, and can run from »10
for normal alarm clocks to $95 and
up for Waterford clocks.
If none of these items strike the
shopper’s fancy, Young said Ben
Simon’s Gift Shop usually has a
separate display for graduation gi fls
during the season, and a variety of
gifts are available.
She said shoppers spent differ
ent amounts on graduates, depend
ing on how well they knew them.
Friends and relatives usually
spend anywhere from $10 to $50,
sne said, with the average purchase
being around $20 to $25.
Members of the immediate fam
ily and close friends will often spend
more, Young said, but it depends
on what level of college the gradu
ate is leaving and how much the
shopper wants to spend.
