from university career websites
  • Usually students leave the job quest to the last
    minute and do it at the worst possible time after
    finals.
  • Enrolling in a course and completing your
    degree is the easy bit. Less obvious and easily
    overlooked is a crucial research project you need
    to complete What I am going to do with my
    degree?
