§ II · Real talk

What we'd tell a younger sibling.

The good

Business work takes real skill — the kind that travels. Your portfolio, projects, and network come with you to whatever's next.

The grind

The first two years of the degree are the fundamentals — often abstract before they click. Expect to push through before you see the payoff.

The AI part

AI is reshaping parts of every business role. The people who do well learn which parts they're still faster at and let the machines do the rest.

The money

Balanced market right now. Plan your first-job search around reality — a 2–4 month runway is normal, not a failure signal.
