University doesn't last forever and at some point, we all need to enter what everyone calls, "the real world". Reading books, taking tests, and studying notes throughout your college career helps you feel like you're progressing semester by semester. Despite all this, does anyone truly feel prepared to obtain a job in their field of study?
It's hard when all you study is theory and general statements to feel like you can fill a real role in society. We all know that employees are, for the most part, expendable. Competing with other potential employees is the ultimate battle for success, that being said, what happens when broad knowledge and theory compete against practical, industry-based training?
People always say to improve on your own time, but how can you find time when every class assigns work as if it is the only one being taken by students? Expending your rare free time by improving your skills is depressing, as it feels like you never get a break, but if you want to truly prepare yourself and outdo others, you must go above and beyond what is expected.
Research training programs are online where you can watch videos and chat with professionals. None of these things are difficult and are widely available all over the internet, it simply takes minimal effort on your part to open millions of doors.
Don't let grass grow beneath your feet, fight for the future you want and seize success.
