School to work is daunting – enormity of the organization – getting lost- ecosystem change
Settling in period the worst – need to understand that
Fitment key to company but please communicate it
Changes in going back to school
There is trepidation – self taught vs. learning in school
Now a certain maturity and exposure to
the world so sure of what to get out vs. darkness when left school
