00:00:00.650 --> 00:00:02.888
<v ->I graduated with a major in IT,</v>

2
00:00:02.888 --> 00:00:06.070
a specialization in web applications

3
00:00:06.070 --> 00:00:08.149 line:15% 
and a minor in business.

4
00:00:08.149 --> 00:00:10.170 line:15% 
So I had a little bit of everything

5
00:00:10.170 --> 00:00:13.210 line:15% 
because I know I wanted to work with people and technology.

6
00:00:13.210 --> 00:00:16.500 line:15% 
I'm still not quite sure what I wanna be when I grow up

7
00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:19.566
but I know that as long as I keep trying new things

8
00:00:19.566 --> 00:00:22.240
I will find what I wanna do.

9
00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:25.130
I was offered a position in their leadership development

10
00:00:25.130 --> 00:00:28.829 line:15% 
for their JJT Technology Organization.

11
00:00:28.829 --> 00:00:31.010 line:15% 
So one of the biggest I would say

12
00:00:31.010 --> 00:00:32.970 line:15% 
if you wanna be in a role where you can make

13
00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:34.840 line:15% 
the decisions on what you work on

14
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.250 line:15% 
or what direction even the organization goes in,

15
00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:40.030
you're definitely gonna need those leadership

16
00:00:40.030 --> 00:00:41.510
and development skills.

17
00:00:41.510 --> 00:00:43.590
So the biggest thing I could suggest is get into

18
00:00:43.590 --> 00:00:46.200
the positions on campus where you

19
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:47.940
can actually develop your skills.

20
00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:49.810
The best thing you can do in college

21
00:00:49.810 --> 00:00:53.230
is try pretty much everything that you possibly can,

22
00:00:53.230 --> 00:00:54.520
you know, go to a club

23
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.229
that you've never thought you would go to,

24
00:00:56.229 --> 00:00:58.930
go get your resume reviewed by that professor

25
00:00:58.930 --> 00:00:59.930
that you hate,

26
00:00:59.930 --> 00:01:01.450 line:15% 
most likely they'll tell you the things

27
00:01:01.450 --> 00:01:02.770 line:15% 
that you need to hear even

28
00:01:02.770 --> 00:01:04.470 line:15% 
though you don't wanna hear.

29
00:01:04.470 --> 00:01:07.370 line:15% 
It's to take that class that was recommended,

30
00:01:07.370 --> 00:01:09.680 line:15% 
but you don't really know what it's about.

31
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.050
It really is to try all these different things

32
00:01:12.050 --> 00:01:14.030
and find the thing that you like the most.

33
00:01:14.030 --> 00:01:17.270
I was so set when I first got into NGIT

34
00:01:17.270 --> 00:01:19.040
on doing something with graphic design,

35
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:20.970
I thought that was gonna be my passion.

36
00:01:20.970 --> 00:01:22.730
It turns out it wasn't.

37
00:01:22.730 --> 00:01:25.350
It was more of the innovation technology

38
00:01:25.350 --> 00:01:28.092
and the UX and UI design.

39
00:01:28.092 --> 00:01:31.468
Still graphic but not quite so.

40
00:01:31.468 --> 00:01:33.230
You're never gonna find that thing

41
00:01:33.230 --> 00:01:36.903
that you really like until you actually go find it, so.
