Just wondering what did you learn in uni/workforce that you wouldn't have experienced in high school.
Can be about anything!
That’s a
very broad statement.
Things I learnt in uni:
- I personally suck with flexible learning and self teaching anything.
- Getting
relevant work experience, placements and internships is a difficult process if it’s not included in your course. Start researching early and get on to this as soon as you can.
- Don’t take for granted the concessions and discounts you can get from being a uni student.
- Keep in regular contact with your high school friends during uni. You won’t regret it.
Things I learnt after uni/ while working:
- Job interviewers are people too. When you go for a job interview, treat them as such.
- A job is a job. It isn’t the be all and end all.
- Success comes in many forms, don’t compare your life to others’ because everyone has their own journey and different timeframes they’ll reach each milestone.
- Do not succumb to people’s expectations and pressures of adulthood. You do you in your own time.
- Organising your adult life is difficult. No one has this down pat. Everyone struggles at it.
These will probably change and/ or I might think of more later.
