One of the best things about being a student…

…the title of “Student”

I think the title of being a student is far too underutilized.

When you talk to professionals and tell them “I’m a student looking for advice.”

You hit on two points that excite most people.

1. People see their previous selves in you as a student. Most likely than not, they were a student at some point. Bonus points if this person is an alumnus or alumna of your school!
2. People love to mentor others. Bonus points if you’re interested in the same things they are!

Look, you’re already spending 30K+ / year to go to school. Might as well eek out everything you can. And having the title of being a student is one of the best perks.

Connect with professionals, make genuine friendships, and enjoy the ride.

P.S. I mean GENUINE. “Networking” without making friendships is a waste of time.
