Impending graduates discuss their pasts, their futures and their experiences in between
by Cassandra Dowell and Lana Turkic in features
Graduation tends to bring all kinds of questions and dilemmas to mind. Graduates tend to wonder about the job market, how and where to search for a job, whether they should go on for a higher degree and where to have a graduation party, of course.
While in school, students tend to work part- or full-time jobs that are sometimes unrelated to their fields of study.

Janet Rawls enrolled in the business administration program in 1977; on May 16 she will graduate.
During that nearly 31-year span, the 60-year-old Chicago native has seen both her daughter and her younger sister graduate from Roosevelt before her.
As proud as she was for both of them, Rawls will be the first to tell you how proud she is of her own accomplishments.
