I had heard it before, but I realized that my career options are not constricted by what my major is in.

RWE Boston Participant

Here’s what a few RWE Boston students said:

“Before, I was unsure if I would be satisfied just becoming another software engineer or something similar. But, now I see that there are many ways someone in my field can go with their career. Also, I received lots of great input about the decision to follow a more manager focused career track.”

“I was able to see untraditional ways of entering and interacting with the industry.”
