If someone were to ask me as a child what I wanted to be when I grew up, that person would have received a number of answers. After participating in several dance numbers at nine years old, I would have answered this question by launching into my aspirations to be a hip hop dancer. At ten, I literally believed it was written in the stars-pun intended- that I was supposed to be an astronomer after excelling in a one-month interactive lesson plan in which our knowledge of the planets and galaxy had enabled us to discover which “probes” were on certain planets given descriptive clues. Essentially, I was solving puzzles. Back then, I believed that these were the career paths for me because I had passion for the subject and was actively involved in the project. This is a theory that I still believe to be true today not only for myself, but in my management peers as well. The Albers School of Business and Economics has done a phenomenal job of providing their students with challenging courses and ample resources in all majors.  However, in a specialization as broad as management, students often times need a mentor that can guide them, a chance to be proactive in their research on management careers, and an opportunity to have a unique hands-on experience in the field of their interest.
