This article about young graduates who are dealing with disappointment as their first jobs out of college aren't good fitsmakes me wonder how critical first jobs are in setting up your career. In some fields -- law comes to mind -- where you first work defines the rest of your career; if you want to be a big-time New York litigator, you have to start work -- even your summer work in law school -- at certain firms in New York, period. But if you really want a career in a certain business and the starter jobs that lead there are just not available, especially due to the pandemic, what do you do? The article offers advice, but if you have to settle, how damaging is that to your future? (The Wall Street Journal)
