Your professor just mentioned the two words that could change your career trajectory: marketing internship. While some classmates were frantically taking notes, you're wondering if this is just another checkbox on your path to graduation. Spoiler alert: it's not. What started as just another class discussion could become the strategic move that launches your marketing career.
Can you really see yourself doing this as a career? Are you even going to be good at it? As you double and triple check your assignment due in an hour, you start to wonder - is this marketing education that you're pursuing – what you want or is it something you think you want? You're taking stock of how things are going in school but more importantly how you feel about it. Suddenly, questions like. 'Is this really where I want to be?' start floating around in your head. You're not sure if something's driving you, but at times it feels like you have more questions than answers.
We know what you're thinking. Your friends are binge-watching another series while you're wondering: Should I be doing something more strategic with my break? The answer? Absolutely.
