>> What I would tell them is to try to take some sort of exploratory course.
I think when-- in my freshman year at K State I remember going to the class,
I think it was at Anderson Hall, was it freshman orientation?
I don't know if they still have that, but some type of exploratory course, and not, "OK,
where do we go for good pizza on-campus?
Where do-- Where is the health center," not that type of exploratory course,
but a course that maybe is taught by somebody in HR that gives them a full variety and a picture
of what does a corporate organization look like, and where do the talents
within those different units in that corporate organization,
what majors are those; and then start from there.
I would strongly encourage that.
I don't know that I've seen a college with a course quite
like that yet, but it would help tremendously.
>> Sure.
>> And then from there they can say, "Well, I kind of like, you know, doing this,
but I don't really see myself doing that the rest of my life."
But if they operate in that, even if for like a small internship or maybe they bring in people
to talk about that profession, it might turn on a light bulb.
>> Yeah.
>> For me the light bulb came on when I actually had to operate in that role,
so hands-on experience if they can get it, but find a mentor.
Hitch yourself up to something bigger than where you are at that particular moment,
because you'll get where they are, you just have attach yourself to them first.
So that will be my suggestion.
