>> Find out exactly what you want to do with your degree and then
from there find those professionals that are already doing it and align yourself with them.
Get a mentor.
Get an internship.
Get work experience.
Have a really good looking resume.
Get highly involved in the university in your degree in your profession and I would say
that simply because in the middle of my undergraduate studies I was fortunate
to work part time as a production assistant for a lot of different entertainment events
and I did that for ten years before even getting my degree so and that's why it wound
up taking me so long to get my degree because it was like gosh,
I have these great work opportunities you know but I realized
that having a degree was way more important than having those work opportunities.
You know what I mean but they kind of go hand and hand at the same time
because I don't think I'd have the career that I have now if I didn't have that work experience.
