After reading the well-designed article on "Becoming Invaluable" I became even more motivated as before. Although, I am a senior and already have a future planned out, I was still impressed. I was not fortunate enough to choose my major as a freshman, but I did as a sophomore.
As a Sports Studies major, I believe that you have to market yourself more than any other major has to. Like mentioned in the article, it is very competitive. I also think that if you're one dimensional, then you should probably look into finding another field of study. Along with being multi-dimensional, the student must know that upon finding a job, they have to be flexible when it comes to a working schedule. Also, for any college student, you must always stay on top of your grades and put in the work to have a good looking GPA. High GPA's are a good indicator of a student’s work ethic. Having a high GPA is good when competing for a job or entering grad school.
I wish I could have had access to this article long before this year but oh well. I feel as though I have put myself in good position for a bright future anyway. In the spring I will be completing my internship at a local golf course and am hoping to pursue a career in golf course management! Wish me luck!
