What advice do you have for current students?
Plan ahead! Begin seeking out a career during early
during your senior year. Don't get
hung-up on salary; realize that you may have to take an "entry-level" position
in your field-- even if you have an internship or two! If you dedicate yourself, you will move up
quickly through the ranks. Be patient
and thoughtful about your career.
