Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Society in general:

    What are you going to do with a History degree? You'll never be able to find a job outside of museums.

  • How I responded:

    Having been through this and seen others go through the same thing I always like to remind people that it is not the degree that you get, or even the school you go to, that matters. What matters is how hard you are willing to work and devote yourself to what you want to do. The more you are willing to put yourself out there and take the extra step, the more opportunity you will find in your life.
