The thing is, as soon as you take your first job out of school none of your degrees matter any more - it's all about experience.  So while you are in school and have flexibility, do everything you possibly can.  I've worked a lot of jobs doing all sorts of unrelated things (writing, editing, publishing, management, recruiting, teaching, admissions, scientific and medical research, etc.) and I could never convey to you how valuable those experiences have been, both personally and especially professionally.  

Some people like to think it's about knowing people and having connections but if your job relies upon knowing someone then you're pretty disposable.  If you distinguish yourself professionally and can put on a good attitude, work comes to you. 




     

That is some real talk right there.

A lot of people in college say, categorically, that it is all about "connections," and they are helpful for finding that first job in your field and connections can be very important in careers like journalism, politics and some aspects of business and law. However, I always tell younger people who want to be doctors, surgeons, engineers and scientists that "networking" will not build a bridge that will not fall down and "what you know" is more important than "who you know" when it comes to not killing a patient on the operating table.
