Post College…
Can’t I just be a permanent student? My suite-mates and I grapple with this idea almost daily. Especially as the job search emails from CCD come in weekly, friends are interviewing, and other people are even receiving job offers! I’ve put a lot of effort into avoiding all of the above, but it has come time, even for me, to start thinking about what it is that interests me. I’ve spent a bit of time, when I should be studying for my economics exam, looking on various websites about teaching English abroad or looking at applications for Teach For America. All seem like interesting outlets for me at the moment as I explore what it is I should be doing with my life.
If there’s one thing to take away from the entrepreneurial spirit of Babson it’s something I learned in my EPS class sophomore year. If anyone has read The Monk and the Riddle by Randy Komisar, then you may have taken this away as well. You should do what you love now, don’t wait until later to be happy. It’s what entrepreneurship is all about isn’t it? Doing something you’re passionate about. I suppose I’m still looking for that!
