CU: What did your job process look like after school? Was is rather difficult to find one?
Justin: The uncertainty of not knowing whether or not I would have a job after graduation was the hardest part. I was fortunate enough to have got an internship during my time and Cameron University which later led to getting my job now.
CU: Is your job what you expected?
Justin: Yes but only because I interned with the same company before I got an actual job with them
CU: How much do you like your job pertaining to work-life balance?
Justin: My job currently allows me to have a decent work life balance. I have not had to spend hours of my time outside of work dealing with issues from work. It has been a surprising good change of pace from my time at school, where I would have to spend countless hours outside of class working on school work.
CU: What advice would you give to current students?
Justin: The schooling can be a difficult grind but if you can learn how to study it will make things a whole lot easier. Making lasting connections with other students and professors is just as important as doing the actual school work.
