Recent Grads Are Drowning in Uncertainty. Here’s How to Stay Afloat.

There are nearly fifty million twentysomethings in the United States, most of whom are living with a staggering, unprecedented amount of uncertainty. Most have no idea where they will work or where they will live in five years. They don’t know if they are a day or a decade away from a promotion, or when they will be able to pay their bills. And now, millions of new would-be workers have graduated, without the pomp and circumstance, into a global pandemic and recession.

As a psychologist who specializes in twentysomethings, I hear every day from young workers who feel overwhelmed because of the unknowns in their lives. If you feel this way too, you are far from alone. Research shows that, rather than long for certainties that do not exist, the best way to adapt to uncertainty is to change how we think about it — and to find a way to keep moving.

Here are some suggestions.
