>> You know, I've had a very long linear career path.
So I graduated Penn State, I started a company on around 9/11had just happened.
I started a magazine, of all things.
I love media and content.
And so I started my magazine business.
I did that and then I realized I wanted to get back to tech so I joined two of my professors
in their startup and I was a developer.
And then I went to a big company like Microsoft.
And so I think I've been more opportunistic.
And really just following, you know, when you find things
that you really want to work on, go do it.
But I do think that the one piece of advice I would give to students is always do things
that are teaching you new skills and are challenging.
You know, we're all going to go through multiple careers in our life
and you can't predict how things will go.
But I think the importance is finding good mentors
that will teach you new things in each and every job.
And when a job starts getting boring or when you really understand how to do the job,
if you want to be doing what I'm doing now which is continuous learning
and creating a company, that's not going to work.
You can't stay still, you've got to say, great, I'm going to pick up, go to the next job.
And acquire new skills.
