College/Career Information
11/30/09
Mrs. Keim gave me an article from the Topeka Capital-Journal that showcased a young man who graduated from college with dual majors in music and economics. He is currently a professional cruise ship musician, sailing thousands of miles across the globe – visiting places most of us only dream about. He is having the time of his life AND paying off his college loans with amazing speed.
The reason I bring this to your attention is that sometimes you have to “think outside the box” to find or create a career that works for YOU. Don’t be afraid to try something that hasn’t been done before in the world of work or college.
The entire article is on the bulletin board between the 2 offices’ doors.
