On top of course work and projects, we have resumes to write and update, interviews to prepare for and ace, and obviously big decisions to make. Many of my classmates face decisions between graduate school, PHD programs, or entering the work force. In my industry a further education really doesn't matter, so next year I'll be entering the 9-5 work world. Although I do not need to worry about taking the GRE's or writing essays, I still face decisions about locations and companies.
In the actuarial field, jobs are determined very early. Currently I have job offers, which I am thrilled about, however with job offers come deadlines. My earliest deadline is October 15th, which is only a little more than a month away- NOT COOL. I want to look around and see all of my options. Because I need this to happen quickly, I have to find companies I am interested in, send in resumes, interview, (probably more than once), and then wait to hear back.
Graduation may be 8 months away, but big decisions are being made now.
