Oh, To Go - Dr Seuss

Well, howdy do! Your day is here! It’s time to start your new career. You have hopes in your heart And a mountain of debt. Where the heck you’ll end up, You can’t know – not quite yet. You’ll search Facebook and Google And LinkedIn and more, And still, you won’t get your foot Into a door. But wait! Don’t give up! There are worlds out there waiting. Apply for a passport and stop hesitating. Forget about jobs – you can always get work In places where bosses and coffee breaks lurk. Just focus on NOW! for you don’t need a clue To grab onto all that is waiting for you. So whether you’re outgoing, anxious or shy, Dive into the moment – get out there and fly! (modeled after Oh, The Places You’ll Go!)
