She graduated high school with a 4.0 GPA and academic scholarship offers to many of North Carolina's best and brightest universities. Her time spent in Student Government opened doors to external organizations that would set her up with work to gain experience during her college years and a guaranteed job upon acquisition of a Bachelors Degree.

I had to chuckle about this passage of your character's bio. It seems the truth of the matter is, a Bachelor's Degree no longer cuts it. I  know a woman who has a BA in legal studies and is certified/qualified as a Paralegal. She had difficulty finding a job and there are way too many attorneys in Massachusetts. She applied  for a job at the District Court level. A woman who worked at Dunkin' Donuts across the street got the job with no experience or education. In her case it was all about [i]who[/i] you know rather than [i]what[/i] you know. But I've gotten the impression that young people in college are finding it better to just continue on and get their Master's degree if they are able because the job market sucks. You got people with BAs flipping burgers at McDonald's nowadays.
