The facts were these. Both of Kate's parents attended business school. So, as Kate got older, she started to see herself as business school-bound, too. But Kate's parents were economics majors. And Kate was interested in psychology. But not clinical psychology, where a lot of the jobs were.
She wondered, "How can I use the things I'm learning in psychology that I'm really interested in by integrating them into a field I'd be good at?"
You can tell by the language level of Kate's wonderings that she's no slacker. She was determined to make a move toward her future. She heard about uSooth from a friend and made up her mind.
After the smoke had cleared, the Career Scientists spread it all out on the table for her to see. There were essentially two routes she could take. The first was more research-oriented, something that would appeal to the part of her personality that craved learning - a Ph.D. in industrial psychology. The second path took her to business school to learn more about organizational behavior and cater to her entrepreneurial spirit.
Uh, did someone say "business school?"
Kate jumped on option #2 as the best of both worlds. It would allow her to use her natural tendencies in a productive way but also let her stick with what she's currently learning.
You've learned enough about Kate by now to know she's already put the plan into use. This summer, she got hired for a multi-faceted, business-oriented internship. And, after she graduates next year from the University of Michigan, she plans to attend business school.
"Before, I didn't think I'd be able to overcome not having that business background," Kate said. "It's something I've always thought about but never really saw coming to fruition."
She credits her positive uSooth experience to the way they sit down and talk the process through with each client.
"That was the best part," she said. "Even the way they presented the results to me changed based upon what I was saying. The back-and-forth that we were able to have was amazing!"
