College: The Perfect Environment for a Young
EntrepreneurArthur Gallanter
“Being in college presents the ideal opportunity for any individual to take a risk and pursue their entrepreneurial goals. You can gain experience that can’t be taught and
the worst-case scenario is that you will end up where you started as a student pursuing a degree.

close some doors once you are there. Here are some tips for being proactive about your post-grad career
during your collegiate sports career”

My Journey to Becoming a Generous Tipper
Melody Wu
“I was pulled in by an aunt to cover for one of her employees at her Chinese restaurant… Not only did I get

valuable lessons to carry over to my future career. Here are three main takeaways from my summer.”

burning passion.”
TRANSFORM YOURSELF
Finding Career Clarity through an Alternative Work Experience
Ryan Hrabak
“The challenge then is to create a vehicle to reach your own “moment of clarity” without sacrificing a valuable
opportunity to gain work experience. The solution, and the best career advice I have ever received, is to find a unique, fulfilling, and unconventional work experience to
fill an early off-term or summer.”

multiplicity of work experience.”

or training I have attended.”

Alison Schneeman

who you know.”

obstacles and land a job. This is what I tell them.”
