Do you want to join a professional field? Lawyer, doctor, educator, plumber, electrician? Although you will need to probably be licensed in the field of choosing, securing a job will depend upon someone you know telling you about an opening someplace which is prepared to interview you because someone else spoke highly of you. Recommendations, references all boil down to people and relationships. You can acquire an undergraduate degree in any field you like, then apply to law school, and ultimately pass the bar. But if you have not cultivated relationships which will open the doors to either clients or employers, you likely won't be a lawyer. Books will always be there. But people wil lnot

Hey I cannot agree more with you adarian that's a great advise to EDM I quoted that because that exactly what happened to me as a studen I got great marks and the best average of my career, also an honor Mention in my thesis, but guess what I always was a person without many relations, very quiet as a teenager, maybe was my personality but it ended afecting me because what you said is sad but true I have taken many interviews for good jobs but the qualifications is not what really matters is what you said you need recommendations and I have seen that all the time at least here in Mexico if you are not well related your'e out, sadly but true thanks god and my family we have buses and I'm working now there but the incomes are very few so I'm trying to find a better job but what you wrote explain very well what is happening to me now and guess what? always get the job recommended people.
Yes at least EDM you try to do realtionships as many as you can that's a good advise unless like elacky you work for yourself but anyway to that you also will need it.
