    Network. Get to know people. That’s what my parents never got across. People can hand you jobs in Uni. Out there you have to scruff for them and fight tooth and nail for a crappy job regardless of your SAT scores. The bigger thing that I never understood: you don’t make yourself. Other people bolster you into positions. It’s not cheating. It’s how the system works.
