Why is this issue important to you?

o

This issue is important to me because I have been stressed most recently and most often about this issue. The question that I am going to be researching is: How can college level individuals narrow the options for career field post education in order to reduce stress caused by this notion within the early years of their college experience?

What experiences led you to care about this issue?

My own concerns as well as concerns of my colleagues over job security, job satisfaction, and insecurity in field of study during years at the University.

What makes this an issue that deserves careful attention from many people?
o

College level students often struggle with high stress levels, which can lead to mental and physical health problems. If we can address one of the major concerns of students within this criterion, then there is a large possibility that we can also reduce stress levels of students. This will provide for a more successful experience, while also being more economically and financially effective.
