>> Be okay with not being safe.
Like, you know, being a graduate student I've never really felt okay on solid ground.
I don't really have an income.
I have a living stipend.
So in that kind of regard don't be in a rush.
Your twenties are like the best time of your life to explore and see what your options are.
You don't have to have the $80,000 job right out of college.
You know, you can try different things, try different career paths.
And don't be in a rush because it goes by fast.
I've been out five years and life just goes really fast when you get out of college.
And so I would just, you know, let myself experience more.
I don't know if I would go right to graduate school.
Maybe I would have worked.
Maybe I would have gone farther away out of the area.
I mean, just explore.
There's a lot more out there than I think students realize.
