college is not fun mostly when you majoring in Biology, Chemistry, Nursing, Criminal Justice M.A, or Radiology... i dont have any fun at all. all i do is study and take exams... hopefully it pays up in the future...

I am wanting to do some videos on succeeding in college. I thought this video was realy well put together and structured with an engaging personal story that helped communicate some principles of use to most students. I apreciated your mentioning the need to get beyond the initial "study 24-7" assumption and allow yourself to engage in the breadth of experiences that make college such a rich educational enviornment.

I must say that the most important comment she made was that in many first generation families the mistake that is made is thinking that college is the final achievement. The reality is that much is to be done when it comes to preparing for the professional world. Moreover, we need to focus on entrepreneurship. We often ignore the possibility of being your own boss.

There needs to be more internships, and other forms of networking when the student graduates because it is hard to find a job in their various fields. It's not what you know, but who you know and thats' sad.
