>> The best way for a person who still is young in their career or in college and trying
to figure out what to do, they need to try to expose themselves to as much information
as they can, try to keep current with what's going on, read a lot,
participate in discussions, go to speaker series.
One of the best parts about college is how many great thinkers, people, businessmen,
political leaders swing by campus on a regular basis.
I would say that the more you can expose yourself to those type of people and those type
of events -- not just the better off you'll be or the smarter you'll be, but really,
the more informed you'll be in terms of making these types of career decisions.
It's kind of a game of roulette, in terms of the work-life balance,
in terms of the career advancement.
So any kind of information you can get from current employees at the company you're looking
to work at, or there's a lot of online resources now.
I know Villanova, through their Career Services staff, has a lot of good metrics
and online systems that can give you more information
about a potential company that you want to work for.
So I would say just gather as much information as possible.
You're not going to have all the information you need, ever, when making a big career decision,
but the more informed you can be, the more likely it is
than you'll have a very fulfilling work experience, and you'll be working
with a company and happily employed.
