Giving New College Grads A Fighting Chance

Listen to your elders, kids! They’ve been through trials and tribulations and you might as well learn from their experience.

Drew McLellan knows how awkward it can be for new college grads transitioning into post-graduate life. He’s gleaned some of the top minds in the business world and asked them to share advice for new college grads.

I know I was NOT looking forward to leaving school. This probably explains why I switched majors 3 or 4 times!

The most important thing I wish I had known when I was starting out is that you don’t have to make a lifelong decision and stick with it. You can try multiple professions, do one for a while and then switch when you’re ready for a new challenge. A great education gives you that leverage, and puts you in a position where you’re constantly versatile and able to learn new things.
