What college does is train you that you need to be here from this time to this time.

You need to make connections with the people that you're bosses, your educator, and your peers.

And those are what make you successful.

That model applies in the workspace in ways that we're really kind of just starting to really appreciate.

As we do the debate between remote work and in-person work, how do we make sure we do that?

One of the challenges I faced, too, is I had a job working for an ad agency when I was a senior in college.

And I was like, well, why do I need to?

I've already accomplished my goal, which is getting hired.

Why do I need to finish?

And that was at odds for me.

But my first job was working for Coke's ad agency in the western United States, writing 20-second customized scripts.

radio bumpers for Leadville, Colorado and Boise, Idaho and St.

George, Utah, things like that.

Entry-level job that really got my foot in the door and got me hired by the agency full-time and was the start of my career.

It's now gone.
