I am working in my field (paralegal) although it's hard to break ground.

A soror of ours worked as a paralegal for a mid-sized law firm for a while, then got a job at Shell Oil Co working as a paralegal. After much debate with herself, she finally decided to pursue her dream of going to law school. I'm happy to say that she is a 2L and as a Shell employee, I think she was able to take advantage of an 'employer subsidizes education' type program. She works for Shell 20 hrs / week and goes to law school full time. She's loving it. She's in the top section of her law class.

Well, I have a BA in math, but right before senior year, I decided that I want to go into the hospitality field. So now I'm working on a BS in Hospitality Management. As far as that, I'm not sure what aspect of hospitality I want to go into yet, but I'll have to figure that out by May of 2007, when I graduate.

Yeah, that's cool. I'm trying to get into a company/firm that will help with all of that. Even if I get into one on the accounting side, since I'll have my AAS in accounting.

I got my cards from them and even though their logo is on the back, no one really ever looks at it. It's good to have cards because you NEVER KNOW when you will make a connection. I can attest that it happens all the time.

Keep it up. !!!
When you go out to network, you may not strike gold everytime, but you will move closer to your goal. The more you are 'out there', the easier it will become.
