Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for college students
The most important component of pursuing any career is first to understand who you are as an individual. What does your brand look like and what do you want to be known for. We all think we know what we want, however, taking a variety of courses and volunteering and attaching yourself to the community will give you a broader prospective on what you can do. Not settling for the obvious and looking for what truly brings you "AAHHH" when you are performing that work, will lead to success.
