College Life,…the best [four] years of your life!
The whole point of college life is to prepare you for the workforce…your career. It acts like a springboard to jumpstart your career to make you more competitive than, well everyone else…
- more credible,
- more knowledgeable,
- more capable and
- more skilled
Your career,
….is the thing you love doing. Where you love doing it so much that sometimes it's not fun being away from it.
It…
- stimulates intellectually,
- pushes you creatively,
- grows you into yourself and
- motivates you to take your field to a place it's never been.
…It's a blend of your own self-expression and what the world needs most.
(Oh, and it also creates your livelihood...aka pays the bills.)
College will help,
…you build a solid foundation to build a successful career, but only if you're strategic, take advantage of its opportunities and live a little.
Those students who end up changing their majors several times and stay for 5+ years get there for two reasons:
- they don't know what they want to pursue or
- they don't know how to do college
They didn't do the mental work and set a foundation to base their priorities on…and they didn't do the physical work and carry through the commitment to their fullest potential.
You can,
...use college as a tool to train you in these three aspects of career success: (Regardless of the competitive level of your prospective field, you will need them)
