I'm happy to say that I'll be speaking in the class of a past professor of mine. He's got one message to get across... "get aggressive". Not in general, of course. The university doesn't need any riots going on. (ex. CMU End of the World party circa 1986) The message is that you need to be aggressive about getting your career started. The only person that will move your career along (unless you have an agent) is YOU.
How do you get your career started? The same way you get a job or get invited to a social event... go get involved. If you have a job, you have a professional organization you can join. If you have a hobby, somewhere near you is a group dedicated to that hobby. It's time to come out of the huddled masses and make yourself known. If you're sitting down right now... you're probably not doing something productive. (Exception noted to IT people) GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING ALREADY!!!
