I don't like sitting around talking about gear or plug-ins. For me, mastering engineering is all about listening! It is about making decisions and having confidence in the creative direction that you have chosen. So be a good listener.

Internships are a great way to learn about specific jobs and organizations, but also a good way to build your credentials and network. An internship can be an entry point to a great and competitive company or a launching pad to your dream job.

Don't worry if you don't feel like you know what you want to do right away, or even for a long time -- try different things until you find something that energizes you. Take your time, I certainly took mine. More important than deciding quickly on a career is deciding well, and a willingness to repeat the process when, inevitably, you grow and change and your interests and needs change with you.

Never take no for an answer. Doors will close in your face, but look for the unconventional route. Don't be afraid to make mistakes; learn from them and move on. Languages made my career. If I did not speak Arabic, I would not have gotten as far as I did or as quickly.

My time at Skidmore was formative, as I was encouraged to explore both of my interests: science and art. For me, one informs the other. I think it makes for better doctors to have a humanities background.

Take the pressure off of figuring out what your life's purpose is and just start trying new things that might make you happy. I was able to learn how to blog, figure out how to sell a product, foster my love of making things with my hands, and ultimately, start my company, without the pressure of "being in the real world" yet.

Don't be afraid of unconventional career paths. Just because most of your class, friends or family work in a certain industry does not mean you have to. Combining your interests is easier than you might think. If you work hard and put yourself out there, you'll meet the right people to help you along the way.

“You don’t have to decide what you’re going to be. It’s about the quality of your life. You have to love what you do, and you have to make some decisions and figure it out. Everyone has the same fears. Do what you’re good at and what you enjoy.”

Do your best to get work experience as early and often as possible. Do not worry too much about whether or not your first job is directly related to what you want to do further down the line, especially if you are not even sure what that is yet. A seemingly low-level position can have a lot of room for growth and new experiences.
