Abstract
In this qualitative study, the authors explored the experience of recent college graduates transitioning from college to career within the first 3 years of their transition. Five men and 5 women were interviewed, and the narratives were analyzed using consensual qualitative research methodology. Several general themes emerged, including the role of social support, expectations, and optimism in adaptability and resilience in the college-to-career transition.
