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!)
