Since there are no prerequisites for law school, you can feel free to explore things academically and declare a major that truly aligns with your interests and strengths. Not only are you more likely to do well in coursework you care about, chances are you’ll get more out ..read more

Kelly Zayago, GSE Masters in Intercultural Communication, 2024 On May 9, 2023, I stepped into the elevator of a historic manufacturing building in Chinatown and pressed the button for the fourth floor, unsure what to expect of a refugee resettlement organization located in an old warehouse. However, when I reached the reception area of Nationalities Service Center (NSC) for my first day as an intern with the Vocational ESL program, I was met with a banner that welcomed guests with translations of “Welcome” into almost two dozen languages.

Ah, the classic question…”What is your dream job?” or “What do you want to be when you grow up?”. We have been asked a version of these two questions over and over as we grew up.

I want to talk about this concept because while innocent in nature, it has actually created, in my opinion, a ton of societal pressure on people to have their careers “figured out” by 22 years old (traditional track). I believe there is real value in doing work that we are no ..read more
