Lookback: 1 year after graduation

Completed undergrad with economics specialization

Feeling useless with my undergrad degree and regretting not thinking through my choices

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had thought more about the job market and academic requirements"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider your long-term goals and research the requirements for your desired career before choosing a major"
