I spend a lot of my younger 20s trying to figure out what I wanted to do, and I've been sidetracked a lot. There are two things I want to do, write screenplays and become an FBI profiler. I don't need a degree for the first, but I hadn't figure out the second, so I was working on an English degree. Complete waste of my time. I finally figured out the second and started going to school, pursuing my degree in Forensic Psychology. I'm way behind the curve here, at 27 and trying to finish off a Bachelor's degree. But, on the plus side, I KNOW what I want to do and sometimes I think that's half the battle, right there. I'm a terrible networker, though. I have trouble with it, even in my writing career, which is a lot of who you know - particularly in Hollywood. Any good advice on how to get better at this? Great post!

I’m a terrible networker, though. I have trouble with it, even in my writing career, which is a lot of who you know – particularly in Hollywood. Any good advice on how to get better at this?

I wrote a very similar post today about finding the dream job after college. To expand on your networking thought I just want to add the importance of alumni events. These are an amazing chance to meet people in the same field that went through the exact same process. Great minds think alike!
