Career Resources
Would normally be starting sophomore year next week. Instead, I'm taking a gap semester and interning full time. Will likely extend to a full year off if nothing changes by spring.
I'm taking a gap year before I start my graduate program to hang out with my friends and family in South Korea, and hoping I can get an internship or do something productive.
If I was still in school, I would probably just do online school. First, it's easier to pull good grades. Second, you have enough time to spend literally all day making connections virtually. You can just spend the entire day talking to professionals on LinkedIn. The best part is that many of them are going to sympathize with you for the virus, and so they're more likely to throw you a bone. If you're lucky, maybe you could convince someone to give you a year-round, remote internship. If it's an actually useful internship, then it could really pay off big time.
You'd think it'd be easier but it just makes the curves worse. Everyone cheats. So I have to cheat better than them to still get an A. It's actually easier for me in person because then I can get A's by actually knowing the content, not being the most efficient at cheating.
Switched over to studying from home in March (lockdown started on the 13th I believe), held it down pretty well, averaged a 4.43 (5.0 scale), didn't feel like I was learning as much since I wasn't actively forcing myself to memorize stuff.
I'm going to go even harder now since I got most of my ECTS out in the first year, intend to defend my masters in January or February and graduate faster, move onto CFA L1 in June. Still gotta figure out if/where I want to apply for an SA since it's not easy to assess how this corona thing pans out. Got to start making some of these decisions real soon.
Virtual. I’m planning to just finish up as fast as possible. Did some credits over this Summer and doing 15 from home for the Fall. Although I completely understand why some people want to take the gap.
