Q: What “words of wisdom” would you like to pass along to the next class of Summer Associates?
A: Attack the summer with an open mind. Seek out the type of work that interests you but also don’t be afraid to take on opportunities in areas that you are unfamiliar with or you don’t think you are particularly interested in. Best case scenario, you will end up enjoying that work. Worst case scenario, you will know that you are not interested in that type of work but will have had a chance to learn something new.
