As a new school year begins, college students are not only busy juggling heavy course loads and extracurricular activities, but they also face a high unemployment rate after graduation. But how can students prepare to enter the workforce without burning out before earning their Bachelors’ degrees?
Dr. Samuel Gladding, chair of and a professor in the Department of Counseling at Wake Forest University, joins Keeping Up with Gen Y to talk about how Gen Y in college and the workplace can relieve stress and prevent burnout. He also points out ways for students to determine if they need professional help in dealing with pressure and how they can find support.
