As a college student planning for the future, what skills, experiences, and habits should I prioritize now to build a solid foundation for long-term career success? I’d like to make the most of my time—both academically and beyond—so I’m well-prepared to pursue meaningful opportunities after I graduate.

I go to East Stroudsburg University, I am on the track team, I am a sophomore graduating in 2028, double-majoring in finance and accounting with a 3.93 GPA

I know a lot of people that have a degree but are having trouble actually finding a job that goes with their degree once they graduate. Many jobs are also being taken over by AI. Any tips would be very helpful!
