Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Peers:

    Biology degrees don't make a lot of money and there are no opportunities available.

  • How I responded:

    The key to finding opportunities is networking and start getting experience anywhere you can whenever possible. Even if it's not directly related to what you want to do in the long run, any sort of experience is valuable.
