Remember the internet boom at the end of the late 90's which resulted in one of the biggest stock market busts of our young lives? Can you imagine graduating in 1999 and getting a job with a west coast startup company that was advertised as the greatest company to work for at the time, only to have your job disappear faster than the rabbit in the hat at a bad magic show? That would suck, and you need to be wary more than ever of young companies that seem poised to make millions for many years to come. So many business and financial publications and analysts are predicting that there are many signs pointing to not only the next internet boom, but also a real estate boom. Both industries will be hiring many graduates, so be sure to research the heck out companies who you may decide to pursue. Working for a young company (less than 5 years old) is like investing in a slightly risky stock. You may luck out and make some good money starting early with the next Google, or you may end up getting screwed working for the next pets.com. I miss that sock puppet, though. It sucks that the career sites are just loaded with scams and shady companies making it very difficult to find real, solid jobs that are aimed at college graduates. That's why I don't advertise on this site, because the AdWords that come up are always a 'work from home' or 'paid survey' or 'work for this company and make 6 figures your first year'. That's unacceptable and shouldn't be displayed on a legitimate career oriented site. Look out for the scams, unstable companies, and unrealistic opportunities as you move forward in this wild job market after college.
