Why I Can’t Wait

I am a 28 year old mother of two amazing young girls. I graduated from an affordable state university at the top five percent of my class but sometimes I wonder if my education was worth it. We can barely pay our rent, let alone my student loans.
I have a strong, marketable skill set and have been told by several prospective employers that I have “amazing promise” as a young professional. But so many of us have amazing promise, and there are not enough jobs to go around.
We are a generation of strong-willed, talented individuals who want to lead, to innovate, and to change lives. But we are sitting on our potential, fighting over limited opportunities instead of working together toward a common goal: a better, more prosperous future.
I don’t want to be rich. But I don’t just want to work a dead end job the rest of my life, either. I want a career that allows me to utilize my talents and earn enough for my family to be comfortable. And more than anything, I want my daughters to grow up in a world where they have ample opportunity to use their talents to make the world a better place.
Why can’t you wait for Congress to take action on jobs?
