Adapt Your Career Plans

Long-term, detailed, specific career goals are much harder to achieve in today's changing environments. At some point, the single career path needs to be reconsidered. Evaluate new opportunities as your intellectual and experiential assets grow in classes, internships, and jobs.

Employers value flexibly, persistent employees. Be true to your values and vision, but remain flexible enough to adapt.
