Should I get a job/internship in my first year of college?

Should I focus on just doing well in my academics and making connections, or work during the school year? And if I did work would a job or internship be better?

When you graduate from college, will it matter what college I went to?

Does it matter where I go to college? Is it worth going to an Ivy League? I want to get a great job with opportunities for promotion, learning and earning a good living. #college #job

If I am not sure what I want to do yet for a career, what should I do my first few years of college?

Is it okay to go to a four year private university if I don't know what I want to do yet? And what classes do I take in order to help me figure that out? #career-paths #career #career-choice
