Erasmo Lopez, Community Service Officer for the University Police Department
er out there.
As a current student anticipating graduation in two
months, I often contemplate how I will make my own
footprint on the world. The most puzzling thing is that
I have been molding my future before Ive even accomplished the first step. And, the next step I take only leads
into a lions den: the inexhaustible competition of the
work force.
According to Bloomberg Business, among college
graduates, most of the jobs found in the last few years
were in roles not requiring a college diploma, said John
Schmitt, a labor economist for the Center for Economic
and Policy Research in Washington.
In reality, the type of jobs people have or the income
they earn each year should not have to weigh on who they
are as a person.
As a campus community, we can change this stigma
by having respect and compassion for those who clean
our toilets, make our sandwiches, fix our refrigerators
in North Quad, deal with our impatience as our coffee is
brewing, give us parking tickets.
Because at the end of the day, we are all just trying to
get by and make a living. There is no need for a false stigma that one job means more than another.
