CNBC's "College Voices 2020" is a series written by CNBC summer interns from universities across the country about coming of age, launching new careers and job hunting during a global pandemic. They're finding their voices during a time of great social change and hope for a better future.
Jordan Levy, a recent graduate of Rutgers University with a B.A. in journalism/media studies and music, has already felt this impact. As an African-American, he has taken this pandemic, the events of George Floyd's death, and the economy, to heart. He has lived through the 2008 recession, the 2010 BP Oil Spill, a mass amount of unarmed black men being killed, and now the coronavirus. All at the age of 22 years old.
Levy explains how he has been working a lot in the sun at his new job with a package-delivery service. He twirls his face mask in his fingers as he describes the lack of social distancing going on in the warehouses, and the lack of enforcement to wear masks. I take this information in as I ponder his professional career in this coronavirus life we are all living.Levy had an internship at a magazine earlier in the year — that was before the coronavirus pandemic hit.
Newly graduated but feeling unsettled that this was how the launch of his adult life was happening, Levy took a lot more time to read, but found it hard to write new material. As a journalist, his life revolves around writing, yet being cooped up inside for such a long period of time with no inspiration from the outside world made putting pen to paper a tough task.
acorns I really feel for younger generations and for this young man trying to make his own way. I know we can pull through this but it’s certainly hard right now.
