I have a degree but I don't know what I want to do...

 Sometimes, you can spend two years at a college, do all the things for a degree, graduate, and still not be sure of what you want to be when you grow up.  Regardless of your age.  But you know what?  That's okay.  Because a degree doesn't necessarily mean you have all the answers, it means you have the ability to find answers when you need them and you can learn.  Those are powerful skills to have.  But, let's face it, we also need to figure out a career path so we can live out the dream of having the car, the house, the food, the family, the pets, and whatever else it is you desire.

A Liberal Arts Degree from a Community College is sometimes a catch-all for students who aren’t quite sure what career they want to pursue.  For others, it’s a way to complete general education requirements before continuing on to a four year institution (and beyond) for more focused study.  Regardless of why a Liberal Arts degree is chosen, the path from that degree to a job and a career is sometimes a meandering one and sometimes leads in unexpected directions.  Join three alumni of FLCC as they talk about the choices they made and the places it led and is still leading them.

Cheyenne works as a social services assistant at the VA and lives in Geneva.  She has done various things in between her graduation and her current position.  Jeff is the Assistant Director of Online Learning and adjunct faculty at FLCC.  After earning his liberal arts degree here, he went on to get his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from Buffalo State.  He currently lives in Fairport with his family.  Mandi Brown is currently a Technology Clerk for the Launch Pad at Buffalo & Erie County Public Library.  She, too, has done several other things between graduating and what she does now.  She currently lives in Buffalo.
