Keep your ears clear and your eyes open.
Good role models are hard to come by. There are dream jobs out there and the people that hold those jobs come from a wide array of circumstances. Some happened upon their jobs through networking, others may have been sought out for these highly coveted jobs because of their educational and work backgrounds.
The decision to pursue or continue one’s education in a certain field is one that can provoke hours, upon days, upon months and well into years of deep and conflicting thought. Anyone who has already gone through their undergraduate with a jaded view on their current life or job situation will have a large leap of faith to take in order to continue on their path towards whatever goals they have.
A good mentor, careful observation of the people around you as well as some careful introspection must be made in order to stretch graduate school dollars as far as possible. But then again, how can anyone be sure until they take that big chance?
No risk, no reward. The studying never ends and the path towards prosperity twists in ridiculous ways. Listen to the people that you look up to and always get as many opinions as possible. Is this networking, but in a meaningful way? What a concept!
