Finding your first job after graduation is a piece of cake when you’ve been using your undergrad to get experience (check out Episode 27 College Edition | How to Get Experience Before You Have Any). 

But what if you’ve been “finding yourself” for four years and have nothing to show for it?

Welcome to Ask Your Work Wife: College Edition, where Vanessa & Holland go back to school to answer top questions from college students who are headed into corporate America.

First up, that all-important question (and yes, it does fucking matter): how do I pick a major?

Listen. You can study underwater basket weaving if you want, but pick the right major in college and these four years can be a major investment in your career, your next three moves, and getting what you want.

We say it all the time: you are the only one advocating for you. So you’ve gotta know your worth and remind yourself of how you add value every day, every week, every month, and every quarter.

Otherwise, you’ll feel small, think small, and play small. And that’s just not how the game of corporate America is won.

We’ll respond to “Emily” and sprint to the CEO’s office when it’s Miranda Priestly calling and we’re wearing Jimmy Choos. But until then, what do you do when you’ve just started a new job and people are yelling, running, and maybe even sexist?

Your work product is perfect, your results are stellar, and your performance reviews are top-notch. So why does someone younger and less experienced get the promotions you want?

What you do is not who you are (unless you’re a butcher, a baker, or a candlestick maker), but what do you do when you have nothing else to fulfill you?
