What did you do in college to set you up for success in your career?
I don't think it was any one thing I did in college. I did pay attention.
I paid attention to what professors said within their scope of teaching or their subject. And outside of that, because you have to learn from the world of academia and then you also have to learn from life and your personal experiences, to become the best version of you.
So I would say, pay attention and learn from every experience.
