2006-04-04 9:45 PM What should I do when I grow up?
I did my undergrad in biology, but I guess my graduate degree played more to my strengths. I read an article today on the difference between what you learn in college and the skills you need to develop in the real world. I would say that time management, organization, and networking skills are the most important ones that I can think of. Yes, in college you have to set aside time to study, but you have maybe five subjects to work on, not dozens of different projects (at least in my job), and the issue in college is less managing time and more having the self-discipline to use the time you have. In my job it is the opposite: my clients and tasks are very motivating, but it is a matter of figuring out how much time I can spend on each one, and which ones have to have priority. Organization is also less necessary in college because the structure is being provided by the teachers. As for networking, almost everything that you do in college is an individual effort. In order to succeed in the real world, you need to be able to work as part of a team and be able sell yourself. Read/Post Comments (0) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
