In the midst of confusion about life while in the Kelley School of Business, I needed to take Y100 in order to devote specific time and resources to figuring out what I truly wanted to do. Luckily, I made the right decision. The most pivotal assignment I completed was the informational interview.

In terms of a job after graduation, I know I want to pursue a career in web design or software development where I get to work on a creative team to think through the logistics of and the design of an application, software, website or project in general.

    The Bizz Buzz assignment topics were really relevant, not only to the course but for each of the students as they graduate college and enter into the job search. The first Bizz Buzz was on unemployment, I found it the most useful because it is a huge issue in the world right now and is something that we could be facing upon graduating.
