That's both the good news and the bad news. Nothing ever really compared to the satisfaction of my academic life, but life after Skidmore is not all about your academic life. I was completely immersed in my major, had incredible professors, and spent the rest of my time trying to learn French, both in and out of France (Skidmore Study Abroad Paris is wonderful!). The down side: the world after Skidmore is not really reflected in the Skidmore world. I felt I had a very narrow point of view of looking at post-college life: you go to graduate school, get a PhD, and teach. When that is all you are prepared to do, it's a harsh reality when that does not work out! If you are interested in Skidmore: use Career Services and get a BROAD perspective of your options and explore careers that may or may not have anything to do with your major. ENJOY your major, go with your passion, but don't expect it to be the be all and end all!Other comments: Skidmore can feel a little isolated so perhaps best for those who really want to spend all (or most) of their time studying. |
