The American dream, according to the author is not
necessarily a trail for freedom. It is a trail that is taken by many. When you
choose to take it, it can become a trap because you have to have the same thing
your neighbors have. Everyone wants to get a job out of college and that is
great for those who want to follow a secure lifestyle.
The American dream was a great ideology for immigrants who
needed motivation to push them forward, but when you have the whole world in
front of you as a college graduate, take the reins and do what you want. It is
your job to be unique and push the world in a better direction and to be free. Sometimes
it is risky, but those risks can lead to many wonderful things if enough effort
is put in.
