Culture is a critical piece of success.

Learning and the exchange of ideas is dramatic.

Don't think of your courses as providing all you need for your career.

I think back on that day when 16-year-old me scribbled on some silly piece of paper for some long-forgotten high school career-day project that my dream job was 'romance novelist.'
