Can't Get A Job? Make Your Own

The New York Times reports on the Young Entrepreneur Council, a New York City-based organization that aims to help recent grads “shift from a résumé-driven society to one where people create their own jobs,” as founder Scott Gerber says.

The council has 80 successful business owners on board, all ages 33 or younger, who serve as mentors and as a helpline for other wannabe entrepreneurs. Members include the co-founder of Invite Media, an advertising technology firm recently acquired by a Google unit; the founder of Intern Queen, for college students; the founder of Mint.com
