Snaps for Dick Block for helping students.

A great take-away from this article is that the opportunitites are made from connections and that opportunities taken may lead to jobs you did not even know you would love. Tom Hackman even says that he is from a TD background, but the majority of his work was not in that field. And that is okay, because being a TD gave him a jumping off point to explore and involve himself in other career opportunities. Just like the current students here; we will not all do what we are doing here when we graduate, but we will all have our focuses from CMU as a place to start.
