Western Michigan University Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences invited me to share some insights about approaching employment while students are still in school.
I believe that students have a unique position of power related to their future employment. They can ask anyone questions about anything without much judgement or expectation. Students can make requests of professional from a position that other professionals cannot (for a variety of reasons). And our school days give us that opportunity to open doors and create unassuming relationships in way that sometimes is squandered as professionals.
I appreciate the kind invitation to share some encouraging perspectives with students but I also am inspired by students who are engaging, thoughtful, and have those bright eyes (and minds) focused on the future.
Your futures are limitless. Go get 'em and change the world.
