This is a great reminder that we can only control ourselves, not others. So, while someone may give us harsh negative feedback, we still have the ability to be graceful in our response.

@Josh – I am looking for the direct link and will send when I find it. Thanks!

@Alexia – GREAT suggestion to spend some time volunteering when you’re living at home. Thanks for the tip and the link!

I would also add that if living at home, it’s a great opportunity not only to invest in one’s self by saving up to 1/3 of your income (what you would normally spend on rent), but also to invest in one’s community via service. There are so many great organizations that provide service opportunities, as you’ve mentioned in past posts. It’s a great way to get out of the doldrums, enables you to make a positive social impact, and can be a great way to build your network of professionals and friends. http://www.serve.gov is a great place to start.

Very interesting article with some solid advice! I actually have quite a few friends that have chosen to move back in with their friends post-college to save $, seems like a growing trend given the current state of the economy.

Quick question, do you have a direct link to that statistic about 65% of 2009 grads going to grad school? You provide a link to twentysomething’s homepage but not the actual research. If you could, send that link my way on twitter (@joshgroth). I’d love to reference that stat and you as well!

Thanks!
