I am in college and am confused if I should focus on internships, academics, or GMAT/GRE preparation. What should I do?
Life is all about experiences. The right exposure made Sundar Pichai what he is today and the same went true for all achievers. If you did anything under social pressure, it would be mediocre and you would only hope that you could get into the big four as a consultant or something like that. If you look at most people, who made it through college placement, they would be willing to jump at the drop of the hat.?
What you can do is figure out your aptitude. It could be as simple as teaching young kids. Khan academy and Byjus emerged from such passion. Start teaching. Intern in an organization that operates in this space. If you love doing it, you will have a full-time offer or business lined up even before you ask for it. Gain more experience and see if you need a master's. If you do, get sponsored preferably from the company you own or you work for. In this journey, you will meet people aligned with your interests and make for a great girlfriend or boyfriend if you think you need one.?Even your social life will be fun. You are surrounded by people you really love hanging out with.?
In summary, focus on becoming a masterpiece and not a carbon copy. The world will offer everything you need.
Good luck!!!
