<p>a career. BUT, it does help set up the NEXT step after undergrad. I woudl just say that you should think (especially by your sophomore year) how you want to get from where you are ... an undergrad at college to your next step .. grad school , a particualr career or situation. EXACTLY like youo probably did in high school... you started thinking about where you wanted to go to college etc... planned your classes and ECs accordingly, did things that you were interested in for club, hung out with friends (I hope just a little) .. soph year made sure you had pre-reqs for jr/sr classes.. as a junior prep for the next step, as a senior finish up and coast ------realizing that college may take more than 4 years, but hopefully not 6 or something... my thoughts again</p>
