Assignment:

The first potential challenge I will describe is socioeconomic status. Hutchison (2019, p.261) informs us that college students heading into the workforce from low-income families are more challenged due to finding a foothold in the labor market. They carry the stress of high student debt with them, making it hard to concentrate on other stressors. Hardaway et al. (2009) stated in the article that those who grow up poor earn less income, complete less schooling, and may be over three times more likely to be poor as an adult, and for African- Americans, overcoming childhood poverty appears to be especially difficult. This social and economic challenge could be due to not having transportation due to finances and having to rely on finding jobs near low-income housing or close to bus stops.
