The majority of college kids all worry at some point about what career they are going to choose. We are expected to lock in on an occupation as teenagers, a career that we are going to enjoy and will also bring us revenue. This expectation is immense for someone at our age, how are we ever expected to make this life changing decision? All college students could use some helpful advice every once in a while, as the entire career process is often to difficult to endure individually.
Time Magazine interviewed Greg Schott, who owns a prominent software company, and he provided some useful advice. His first of two major advice points was to really spend time considering all aspects of which career would be best for you. Often times students don't really spend enough time on deciding, after all it's easily one of the most important decisions of your life. Schott quotes that, “The first thing I’d say is that you should be spending as much time making decisions about your job as you did making a decision about the college you chose." According to him, research is key. Really get to know the field and the company that you're interviewing for, knowing your facts are going to impress employers. All in all, once you have gone about choosing a career path that is suitable, the rest is likely to work itself out.
