What to do after university


Listen Later

And it happen to me, and probably to many people who have studied his or her degree at an university, and then the question appears, what to do after university?

Certainly, at a younger age some might think that we must have our lives resolved that we already know where to aim at.

And the thing, it is not true.

Life brings some many changes, that it will be impossible to define our whole future just the next day of our graduation day.

Would the first job be the dream job, or should I am for starting a business, studying abroad or go for a master?

We might not know until you decide.

And I think, people might be afraid of giving steps because it could be a mistake, and for me its not.

We can change decisions on our way, when we are feeling that we are not in the correct path.

The only one that should and could decide if its right or wrong, it is you.

Of course, eventually time will show you if you took the correct decision.

In my case when I finished university, I had the opportunity to either work at the family business or find a job in the city where I studied.

I actuall got an invitation to an interview in Monterrey, but i rejected it because I was not sure about what I wanted, and at the end I decided to come back home and work at the family business.

Certainly, if I have decided to stay at Monterrey, probably my story would be different.

In that time, coming back home open me the path of learning about the entrepreneurial process, even if I started a second branch store of the family business.

I learned how to register at the mexican tax authorities and learned more about starting up your own small business.

Of course, I have to say I had the advantage of having a close mentor, who was my mother, but the process gave me the knowledge to learn how to manage my own business.

Nevertheless, I had the desire of going back to Germany, so I appliead to a master degree.

Decisions came time to time.

And I changed when I feel that it was the time to start a new path.

Thanks God I had a wonderful experience in Germany, where I had the opportunity to meat amazing people from all around the world and also I had my first job outside the family business.

Working at an international company was a grateful experience, that also helped me to expand my network.

If you have told me, the day of my graduation, how my professional path would go, I probably would not believe you.

So as a tip, don't hesitate on what to do after university, enjoy the day and take the decisions as the moment to take one comes.
