One of the typical questions students at UC Davis ask when first getting to know someone is usually, “What part of California are you from?” Most often responses include SoCal or the Bay Area, but ever so rarely you may hear, “I’m actually not from California.”

There is a fear that all college students share – graduating from college. It used to sound great: pursuing your dream job, making great money and making use of that degree that you slaved over for four years. That was before the economy crashed and kept crashing.
