One of the most important things I learned only at the tail end of my college experience was how important it is to connect with my teachers. College professors are a wealth of knowledge and are typically eager to help students — they were once in our shoes! Not only are they willing to help, but they usually have an already-established network of peers in the same career field you're interested in. This will open up more doors for job opportunities in the future and put your foot in the door for the career field you're studying.
