"The first summer post college can be quite a shock for many college grads," said Charles Tran, founder of CreditDonkey.com, a credit card comparison and financial education website. "For many, this is the first time they've had to tackle bills all on their own. When you're not equipped with a finance background, this can be a daunting task."

Key highlights of the infographic include:

• Employment outlook
• Job options
• Salary potential
• Debt payments

The infographic also helps new graduates with a basic budget, providing a basic breakdown of how much to allocate to each expense category and some average expenses that young adults face.

"While needs vary depending on the person and costs fluctuate by geographic region, we were able to put together a guide that provides beneficial figures to college grads around the nation," said Tran. "We hope this tool will help college grads make smart financial and credit decisions."
