 "My advice for fellow students is to always be aware of your opportunities to build your resume and gain experience. If you are looking for a job, try to find one in the field of your major, or that related to a job you hope to have in the future. Be willing to take a job or internship that pays less than another, or maybe that does not pay at all. It will pay off in the long run."
