Ask Not What Commencement Can Do For You ...

To wrap up commencement week, I thought we could go old school. My old school: American University. This weekend, Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank will be giving the commencement speech at my Alma Mater. But 46 years ago, another man who served in congress from the great state of Massachusetts gave the speech as President of the United States. Ladies and Gentleman, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

If you've graduated or are graduating this weekend, congratulations and best of luck with your career from everyone at ThinkTalk. If you have not yet, hang in there, the time will pass quicker than today's roundup of The Links ...

Gradspot Features: An exclusive excerpt of Kanye West's commencement speech to The University of Phoenix Online. CAPS LOCK FTW!

College Humor Found: A commencement program that speaks to students, on the reals. Be prepared to hear a lot of the "classical song that's not that famous graduation song." Also, be prepared to hear advice from some old guy who was the "Secretary of Not Being Dane Cook" (jeez, they say that like "not being Dane Cook" is a bad thing. It is decidedly NOT a bad thing.)

Mashable Reminds Us: That the recession could be worse. And they have proof: photos of the Great Depression on Flickr. See that grads? It's not that bad out there. So congrats again on your triumph over the rigors of Academia (and beerpong!) and good luck with your career search starting ... Now.
