Taking a weekend course in something unrelated to your major is how some people find the side door into their real path.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Paths rarely open through the front door. They open sideways, through something you did for no strategic reason at all. A short course in an unrelated subject costs a couple of weekends and occasionally rearranges what you want out of the next decade. Even when it does not, you come back with something nobody else in your program has, and curiosity is cheap now in a way it will not stay.

Sign up for one short thing this term with no connection to your main subject. Welding, pottery, code, a language. Finish it, and notice which parts you looked forward to.
