Hi Emily! Great question! Everyone's path is different, and that's okay. What you do during college, like internships and part-time jobs, can really help build your experience.
Some people secure jobs before graduating, especially if they interned there, while others take some time to find the right match after graduation. Both ways are perfectly fine.
Your first job might not be your dream role or salary, but it's a great start. As you gain experience, more opportunities and better pay will come your way.
Paying off loans might change your lifestyle a little at first, but you can still enjoy life. Graduating is a big change, and it's all part of a positive transition. Being smart with your budget and priorities helps. Most people find a way to balance saving, paying loans, and having fun. I remember living on budget-friendly meals for a while, but that phase doesn't last forever!
Focus on gaining experience and skills, as they give you more choices and flexibility later. Everything else will follow.
It's fantastic that you're thinking about this now, but don't worry too much. Make a plan and things will work out. Good luck!
