Re: What do you wish you knew as a recent grad?

Oh I agree with so much of this!!

Definitely go to grad school with a plan - how will this help me in my future career plans? (Engineer here) I took only classes that were relevant to my interests and the best advice I got my senior year of college was to email professors at schools, research what their interests were and offer myself up as TA/RA. Of course I graduated at the height of the recession and funding was slashed, so I moved home to save money and was only partially funded. What did I do? Worked in my field to gain experience and afford the commute.

I finally just purchased a house and I'm so excited about it!

Traveling - don't be scared and wait for your friends to have money/time, if you want to do it, find a way to make it work. I have friends around the US, so I'll travel to visit them and make a mini vacation out of it. None of my friends had time/money to go to Europe, so I saved my money and found a tour company to go with and loved every second of it. I traveled on a budget though.

Networking is probably the other advice because I've always just gotten my jobs through other people without actually looking.

Keep in touch with your professors, you never know when you might need them down the line.
