EXPERIENCE THE WORLD
Now it's time to explore what possibilities that are out there. We recommend having as many experiences as possible before you graduate, not only because experience makes a desirable candidate for employers, but also because it's data collection for you to know what you do and do not want for your career.
Have fun exploring!

03. explore a day in the life
Although it would be ideal for you to have as many placements as possible to give you a better idea of the kind of work you enjoy, there simply is not enough time do such a thing. To save you time, we've complied a library of "a day in the life of" videos" so you can see what a typical day is like any given profession. As you explore these videos, ask yourself whether you could see yourself doing that long-term or not.
