-: I started with environmental science,
because I felt like I needed to have the knowledge
to get involved.
What I've learned though, is that
you can learn as you go as well
and you can always expand on your skill set,
so what you're learning here,
what you've signed up for while you're on campus,
whatever major you've picked.
You can always build on those skills,
you can always build on what you've learned there
and try to find ways to connect.
How does this feel to connect with this field.
Being able to network, to talk with people,
being able to communicate your ideas really succinctly,
really quickly and no matter what you go into,
what questions you're asked,
or what tasks are asked of you.
If you are able to identify,
these are the priorities I have,
these are the main message that I want to get out.
That will help you be more efficient
in whatever you're trying to do.
But I also think it's important
that you're able to be flexible.
You have to recognize that you might not have
every skill set required, but you're gonna be part of a team
and you're going to be able to share
some of those skills with other people.
So if you're not the strongest writer,
somebody else you're working with might be
and you can work with them.
You can let them take the lead on something
and focus on something else.
So being able to share your skill set with people
and not get bogged down in, argh!
I can't do this so therefore I'm not gonna get involved.
That's really crucial that we've learned,
we're all in this together.
We all need to find what are our strong suites,
what are our weaknesses
and who's going to take lead on what project.
