Advice for new students
"Find something your passionate about and do it. Stick with your schooling and get it done as fast as possible. If possible, get a job in the field as soon as possible and work your schooling around it. Many tech companies are willing to work with you while you’re in school and you should take advantage of this. There is no better way to learn than by implementing what your learning in the “real world”.
"Getting your degree is the first step in your career. It will open doors that were previously closed and thus allow you to pursue many different opportunities. Once you’ve got your degree, you’ll be able to enter the field with confidence, knowing you’re ready for what is to come."
"Additionally, always be flexible and willing to learn. Companies are always changing and adapting to meet the industry/customer needs. You need to be able to adapt with them."
"Having a good work ethic and a constant desire to learn and grow will make you stand out among coworkers. Don’t ever be content with where you are. Always strive to be better and to go further."
