ReflectEvery professional field is different, which seems obvious though the reasons are more complex than it might seem. These differences are partly due to the specific outcomes or job titles associated with the field as well as the types of duties the profession requires. Differences also result from the particular soft skills associated with the field, the mindset required, and the actual day-to-day experience within that profession. Think about the professional field that you intend to enter. How directly is it related to your major? What do you already know about your intended profession? What has drawn you to it?
