Students' economic fears

College students across the nation worry about finding employment after they graduate.

College Main Street 2.0, you don't have to look far in Ohio State University's campus to see science students are worried about the economy. 3rd year student Kieran Johnson is worried about what kind of job market he'll face.

'Graduate, hope I can get something better. I mean, that's all we're told to go to school, and, you know, have a better life after. But at point right now, we don't really know that's true, so."

For Amanda Culcar, the concerns are more immediate¹ like price of gasoline. "Even grocery are increasing, at * even get essentials like bread and milk has increased to a point that, it's so much ridiculous to buy."

"They're scared, in the skipping, it’s for the first time in their lives, since it's been a several decade period of unusual prosperity."

* science professor Paul Beck says while these young voters maybe scared, they're also enthusiastic about this presidential election.

Seizing on that enthusiasm, volunteers saturated² the campus to get students to register and vote early. And to see how covet³ the youth voter is. Consider that just stone thrown open that nation's largest university and nearly 553,000 students, it's Obama campaign office.

Team /of/ Obama is offering students' right to polling places.

Bruce Spingsteen even performed that OSU on Sunday, to try and drive turn out. "We were also here four years ago, this time we'll win it."

In 2004, democrat⁴ John Carry lost Ohio to Gorge⁵ Bush by slim margin⁶. Students for Obama say they believe they'll make a difference from democrats⁷ in this battle-ground state. * Republican side, no McCain office on campus, just couple of tables set up. But colleagues of Republicans here say, Sarah Palin is little fire for them.

"Any sides be watch anything, it's all about, you know, Obama and the youthful, and how you've got *, you know, lock down, and this is how the case, simply out of case."

Volunteers spanned out across Ohio State’s campus, leading up to Monday's deadline to register to vote. To the first time, people in Ohio have been able to register and vote on the same day. And campaigns are hoping that early voting will help secure vote from young people who in the past have been known to be eager to register, but haven't always been reliable and showing-up on election day.
