As a direct result of joining a professional student organization, and doing all the activities I could, I was offered an internship starting this Fall, at a great firm! I'd like to think if I could do it, anyone can! I live an hour away from the college AND have 2 kids under 3 yrs old. I knew that joining the organization, and networking, and learning, was imperative to my future. <br /><br />Rebekah Vandegrift<br />Accounting student<br />Member of Beta Alpha Psi<br />University of Central FloridaBekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149651849461018453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2592056626317628695.post-32123437080782829092012-01-27T15:47:31.821-06:002012-01-27T15:47:31.821-06:00Thanks for sharing your secret.

If you are doing it, others are. Isn't the amount of extra time you take to do this now on campus going to pay off with great dividends in the long run? Don't just be a member and show up - be a leader and contribute.
