Every day I get emails from soon-to-be or recent college grads, writers, journalists, etc. who ask me how I got my job with Forbes. They’re always along the lines of, “I just graduated, I want to be a journalist but I’m having no luck,” or “I graduated two years ago and I’m still waiting tables, should I go to grad school?”
