-: I would say, probably not any particular academic track,
but what I would say is,
whatever you choose to do, okay, challenge yourself,
you know, don't shy away from the hard jobs,
don't shy away from those things
which are going to push you to your mental limits,
or the limits of what it is you think you can do.
Because the one thing I see with a lot of students
is they sell themselves really short in terms of,
"Well, I can't go do that."
Like, STATS 200, you know, "I can't pass..."
Yeah, you can pass that class.
Just challenge yourself, find the right kind of help,
and you'll get there.
My least favorite class when I was in college was accounting
I hated accounting, I just...
I did okay in it, but I hated it,
but there's so much, you know, in terms of accounting, that,
you know, now, in terms of resource management,
you gotta understand it.
So, I think that the broad resource management piece
transitions well,
but the details of how financial management actually occurs,
I see people that have shortcomings with that.
One of the things that we hire
within the part of UMUC where I work is,
we'll hire student workers.
And the VA has a program where, you know,
we have to, obviously, fill out paperwork,
'cause it's the federal government,
we fill out some paperwork,
and we actually hire student workers,
and we'll put them to work
working in the veterans center.
We have an outreach position
where we outreach to newly-enrolled veteran students.
It's a student veteran who does that for us,
one of our student workers.
We've got another one that works in our certification office
so, you know, if a veteran student is at UMUC,
and is interested in kinda learning about what it is we do,
they could take one of those positions, and honestly,
you know, we have positions open up periodically
that are regular, you know, positions,
they're not student workers.
We've had students apply for those, matter of fact,
we had a worker in our certification office
that went from being a VA student worker
to a regular employee,
and then when she finished her master's degree,
she left UMUC, and took a position somewhere else
that was basically working, you know,
in the field that she studied her master's program in, so,
you know, opportunities are definitely there.
