This common job advice is actually setting grads up for failure

You’re about to graduate, and it seems like everyone has job advice for you or wants to know, “have you found a job yet?”

I wish that your well-intentioned advisors would stop asking the wrong question. After all, you’re not going to school and getting a degree to get a good job. I’d even argue that graduating from college shouldn’t center on getting that first job at all. If you approach things from that perspective, it’s highly unlikely you’ll experience long-term success. Here’s why.
