  • Ngan Nguyen isn't waiting around for someone to give her a job. Instead, she's put off grad school at MIT to be an entrepreneur. The biochemistry, biophysics and bioengineering major at Oregon State University is starting up a biodiesel manufacturing company and eco-friendly apparel and cosmetics lines. College graduates such as Nguyen have to get creative this year to find jobs as they face high unemployment rates and find the doors to traditional career paths closed. Many grads are turning to community service, volunteer work or internships to get by until the economy improves. Nguyen works at Beaver Biodiesel nar Albany, as the Resident Biochemical Engineer.

  • Robert Kirk, a Halsey grass seed farmer, got an unexpected phone call recently: It was a German journalist, calling to follow up on his boyhood family's gift of a Heifer to an impoverished family who'd lived through World War II in Russian-occupied Germany.  Kirk, now 69, remembers the cow as "a scrawny little thing" he helped his father put on the train. He now knows it basically saved the lives of a refugee widow and her nine children.
