The last time I blogged was in Junior High on LiveJournal where I would whine about the trials and tribulations of being a 13 year old. Now (7 years later) I am blogging about the trials and tribulations of being a business student at Arizona State University. I intend on graduating in a year and a half, which will hopefully improve my chances of landing a solid yuppie job. However, my professors & advisers still seem to be a bit skeptical despite any improvements in the current economy.
This leads me to the reason I decided to start this blog. I want to share my insights as a student about to graduate and job search in a less than perfect economy. I also want to discuss the insights shared by my professors and colleagues. I'm not claiming that these insights are any good, they are only thoughts and experiences I find interesting enough to share with others.
Anyway, let's start here. What is a yuppie? Urbandictionary.com (a very credible source) defines "Yuppie" as:
Informal for (Y)oung (U)rban (P)rofessional, or Yup. Turned into "yuppie" in the 1980's. A term used to describe someone who is young, possibly just out of college, and who has a high-paying job and an affluent lifestyle. Can now be used to describe any rich person who is not modest about their financial status. Yuppiedom (yuppie-dum) is a term used to describe an involvement in being a yuppie.

I think this blog is a good idea. It's a place for you to organize your thoughts, and a place to share your thoughts with interested parties. Aside from that, I've heard from several employers and recent grads that a semi-professional blog can help in unexpected ways, especially if you consider yourself to be entrepreneurial at all. I know that might not have been your intent, but just throwing it out there.
