Together, my parents used to make >$36,000 a year. Now they are both unemployed, with two little ones in the house.
I went to a $52,000 a year private college to better my life and move out of my small town in the Midwest with NO jobs.
When I graduated May 2011, I moved thousands of miles away from my beloved family, to South Korea, for the year because it was the only place I knew I could find work.
Next year I will go to graduate school… What then???
We are the 99%.
