What did you do in college to set you up for success in your career?
I think doing as many internships as I could was helpful. Even though it sometimes took a long time, or I didn't find one for the semester I wanted, or didn't get any at all.
I had friends around me who were all doing internships. They kind of motivated me to start early.
This really helped me think about my career quickly. So, when I got out of college, I was able to narrow down what I was looking for.
