-: One of the exciting things about critical thinking
is it can apply to any industry, any topic,
any place where you are in your career.
And, as I mentioned, I started out with
a liberal arts background, in transition
to the business world and then to IT.
I think being good at critical thinking
and problem solving is what allowed me
to transition over time.
Learning actual different skills, but being able
to apply that critical thinking lens
has been very helpful to me.
In terms of encouraging students,
what I would say is, learn as much as you can
and always ask why.
And try to apply knowledge that you've gained
in one experience to another.
No information is ever gonna be wasted.
You might be taking a class, and you're having
a hard time understanding how that's gonna apply
to a future career, pay attention anyway.
Because those types of opportunities always come up
where you might think, you know,
I've seen this type of situation before
and here's how we can work together to figure it out.
