Happy Friday to those of you in town. I woke up this morning panicked because I felt like there was something I was supposed to do today. Yes! Go to work!

Great story in the Washington Post about a particularly raging job market. Accounting anyone?

I’m always amazed at stories about recent high school grads who home in on a sensible, in- demand careers and land fabulous jobs straight out of school. While my friends and I had little trouble finding paychecks when we left college in the late-90s, very few of us graduated with job offers and most switched industries or went back to school for advanced degrees.

I’ll check to see if accounting is as hot in Minnesota and will ask a career counselor about which jobs are in demand in the North star State. In the meantime, share how you discovered the color of your parachute.
