Breaking Free From the Box of Societal Rules and Negative Beliefs
Your future is limitless
A week ago, my sister graduated from the University of Warwick, and one of the co-founders of Overleaf gave a speech that got me thinking.
Like many people, he didn’t know exactly what to do after graduating. Usually, you just start a job you find, and then you see what comes next.
I had the feeling of knowing a bit about what I wanted to work as, but then I took the next best job, and I needed to be grateful for finding a well-paying one.
Your environment, your boss, and the opportunities available decide for you.
A lot of possibilities
As a graduate, you don’t know how many options are out there for you.
If you study chemistry, you do a lot of lab work and research at the university but this doesn’t mean you need to stay in research.
I know many studied physicists who are now programmers, analysts, or project managers in various industries.
In the 21st century, there are more work possibilities than ever before. As a graduate, you may know around 10% of the options, which are the job offers available at the moment.
