Fourth-year, history

Kathryn Lin
Fourth-year, statistics

I’m graduating early and transitioning from being a student to getting my resume done. I’m looking for jobs in the financial or marketing industry that involve numbers, because I’m a statistics major. … I’ve applied to probably more than 40 jobs.

Gabe Arom
Fourth-year, bioengineering

I’m fresh meat for the job market (as an engineer). I don’t compare myself to humanities majors, but maybe I’m better off than a sociology major looking for a job. … I want to find a job, work for a year, then go to grad school in engineering. I like school, I hate work. Working 9 to 5 sucks out your soul.
