The document provides a long list of potential solutions to help recent college graduates transition into the workforce more smoothly. Some of the suggestions include requiring all colleges to offer financial literacy classes, mandating 30-minute exercise breaks for all workplaces, and decreasing college tuition by 50% through increased scholarships and lower interest rates on student loans.

7. • Most practical: Requirement to take a financial
literacy class is most practical as most students do
not know how to manage their budgets.
• The most disruptive idea is the elimination of
workplace hierarchy. Recent graduates feel that
management can be inefficient, and discouraging.
Evidence of several successful companies point to
equality of all workers as an essential factor.
• Favorite: I love the idea of a government-mandated
30-minute exercise break. Many adults lack
exercise, and lack of exercise induces stress.
