Figuring Out Your Career Path

In university, your career path is really about going from “I’m completely lost” to “I have a real plan.” It starts with just trying different things—taking a mix of classes to see what sticks, talking to people about their jobs to get ideas, and maybe working a simple on-campus job. This part is all about exploring with no pressure to figure everything out at once.

Then, things get more serious. You might land an internship or work on a big class project where you actually use what you’ve been learning. This is when you start making connections in fields that interest you, learn how to describe your strengths, and get a feel for what kind of workplace you’d actually enjoy.

At the end, it all starts to click. You’re going to career fairs, customizing your resume for different jobs, and practicing for interviews. Everything you’ve done—the classes, the internships, the people you’ve met—now helps you show employers what you’re capable of. The goal is to graduate not just with a degree, but with a real job and a sense of where you’re going.
