The Work starts Now..
I tend to preach working hard early in life. The idea position is that once your are a little older you want to be in the position financially to relax a little and enjoy life. the hard work pays off but as previously stated in an earlier post, networking will get you there a little quicker. Remember at all times you are your own business, your work ethnic and Punch to become successful should drive you into the positions to life a good flexible life in the workplace. No matter what it take get yourself through the pain of entry level work.

College is over whats next.....
Once your last class is over there is usually a some kind of wait time on getting started with a job that you would deem a career. The most important thing to remember is that most students do not follow there studies when attempting to make long term income- So finding a job that is not what you studied in college is typically the norm. Find the income and set yourself up with the option to be flexible while pursuing the job of your dreams. Just remember this requirs lots of work and dedication on you.
