[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academia is wonderful for teaching you to think, analyze, absorb information, make connection, communicate and gain expertise in a field of study. It is not vocational career training! Jobs and employment are very different than college. When was the last time you took a mid term or final at your workplace? When did you last listen to a two hour monologue and read associated texts? When did you last write a term paper? Amazingly despite large differences in career functions, the pattern of what is required in colleges is strikingly similar across fields and does not mirror what you do in the workplace. [/quote] People keep saying this, but I’ve had time pressure at every professional job I’ve held. Your boss will want something done ASAP or by EOD and if you make excuses or don’t get it done, you’re likely high on the future layoff list. And this applies to non-profits I’ve worked at too.[/quote]
