Even worse, the glowing praise of number one seed San Diego’s pizza was ironically that it was “just as good as being home in New York.”Second place Las Vegas pizzas were declared “Brooklyn pizza in the desert” by one TripAdvisor reviewer, whose opinion was featured on the travel site’s ranking as well.
TripAdvisor’s Rotational Program Epitomizes Every Post-Graduate’s Dream (BostInno)
As a recent graduate, I think that 20-somethings are career-commitment-phobic. For the past four years, we have been gorging ourselves on intellectual brain candy. We have had the opportunity to try on various careers in internships, organizational roles and classes, and chances are we appreciated different aspects in all of them. So, when May of that final year rolls around, we leave school with a diploma and, more often than not, without a perfect-fit glass slipper of a career–sometimes even if a start date lies looming in our respective futures. Or, conversely, we score the offer of our dreams, only to find out a few months later that we have chosen the wrong path for ourselves.
