Subject:Does Success Depend on Knowledge of What's Ahead? From:"Vollbach, Elizabeth" <evollbach -at- LOGICON -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 22 Aug 1994 08:56:42 PST
Why does Shelley Larock believe that a student must be told what to
expect of the job market if that student is to be successful? No one
told me. To tell you the truth, Shelley, I think you'll find that
regardless of how much Michigan Tech tries to prepare you for the job
market, you won't know it until you're in it. Besides, the job market
changes over time and from place to place. For example, the job
market in Michigan in 1984, I found, was unlike the current job market
in California. I think the best advice they can give you is, just
grit your teeth and do it.
