You know, I get that change is hard. But it’s also inevitable. The world in which today’s young “will make choices and compose lives is one of disruption rather than certainty,” argues this report.

Rebecca - this is a fantastic post - I especially like the "Risk Normalcy." It's so true, that it's easy to say we're willing to take the risk. But once you get out there, how many people are able to follow-up? I'm on the brink of finishing school and diving into freelance writing - and I'll try to remember the "Risk Normalcy" battle cry.

“Being normal,” Hercules replied, “gets you a middle-class life in the suburbs. It’s fifth place, and you know you want to be in first.”

Love that line. Awesome post, Rebecca.

I loved the vid of your experience, looked like too much fun.

As for your subject: an abnormal career, as well as taking your own path to your own (abnormal) goals is what keeps one's head in the game.

Stay original!

This is the time of year when, every time the phone rings here at Veritas Prep HQ, there's a good chance it's an applicant calling to ask us if he should apply to business school in the third admissions round, or if he should wait until next year. The answer, as is the answer for most things in life, is "It depends."

When I embarked on my blog journey last December, I thought of it as just an extension of who I was, professionally and personally. I also looked at the blog as a way of being creative. It’s become more than that to me and those of you that read this. My blog is now part of my personal brand.
