10/15 Whatever happens with the motd debate, someone made a point below
that I hope doesn't get lost:
" If you get nothing else out of your time at Berkeley, get this:
networking is more important than your gpa, major, or anything else. "
I just wanted to put this up as a really valuable piece of advice, and
I hope undergrads take it to heart. If you're going into "the real
world", this is very true most of the time. -John
\_ Thanks. --Wrote that anon but since it was anon it must be a troll
and should be dismissed out of hand. ;-)
\_ Out of the four jobs I've had in the last 8 years, all of them were
at least partly attributable to networking. -mice
\_ This is true. I got my excellent first job thanks to networking,
and I got 2 sodans jobs because I knew them. -eric
\_ yeah. I've gotten every job I've had because of networking,
and most of my freelancing work comes from soda or ex-coworker
contacts. I wish I'd known this when I was in college, I
would have done things a lot differently, i.e. going to
professor office hours starting my freshman year, going to
more student events, etc. |
