Santa Clara University graduation ceremonies both happy and cautious - Linda Goldston, Mercury News

Students interviewed after commencement said they were both excited and nervous as they prepare to leave SCU for a world challenged as it hasn't been in decades. "I'm nervous, but I feel like everyone is in the same boat," said Kendall Hague, 22, of Seattle, who earned a degree in communications and will be interning at Apple. "We kept saying we're the unlucky graduating class," she said. "Friends before us at SCU had jobs by January and knew their plans. People ask me, 'What are you doing next year?' I don't have a clue."
