You know, one of my close friends, you know, he got his first internship freshman year.

And so, you know, he was able to sort of use those connections at the time and sort of like continue working through various positions.

He has a job offer right now.

So I'm very happy for him.

I know.

A lot of other people who are going to grad school, it really just kind of seems like a safe option, especially if you've done well in school.

You can work towards a specific project, like research, something like that.

Continue getting paid, like if you have an assistantship with a tuition waiver.

That's an option I've actually seen a very large number of people doing.

But yeah, I'd say it's mostly that.

And then, yeah, I do have a couple people who sort of got those connections early.

And they always tell us networking is really, really important for getting a job.

But nowadays, it feels like that really is kind of the only way anyone gets any job.

Because if you're trying to wade into that pool of people

college or not college applications job applications um where it really is just thousands and thousands of ai generated resumes that are going to these ai filters that who knows what they're even doing how many of these jobs are even real um you're not going to be in for a fun time

Can you talk to us about the response you've gotten to your video?

Again, we mentioned it's over 100,000 views, and that's, I think, interesting in and of itself.

I think it probably speaks to you capturing something that other people are then sending around and saying, this is what my experience is.

It's resonant.

So talk to us a bit about what you've heard from other people as you've shared your own experience publicly.
