I've been bad about finishing this series because of the sheer workload at Kellogg, but its almost completely appropriate for me to write this post today. I am now one quarter into my Kellogg experience and the obvious question is, "What's your plan?" I'm somewhat proud to admit that I purposefully came into Kellogg not having a clear plan of what I wanted to do. As an undergrad, I was the complete opposite, and I ended up realizing that I took certain classes way before I was mature enough to appreciate the material. I did well in my classes, but I could've gotten so much more out of them. So I purposely entered Kellogg with a general idea of my life's plans, but in general, I've picked activities on whims and personal passions. I know I love technology, so I got involved with the hi-tech club and I think I'd love to end up in a strategy / product management role at a high-tech company. I've always secretly dreamed of building the next great hearing aid, so I'm trying to keep medical devices as an option. Finally, I'm a little bit geographically sensitive. I definitely want to stay in the midwest or move back east, so I'm trying to look at industries that have geographic freedom (consulting comes to mind). In my application essays, I also talked about wanting to have more of a social impact in my life (everyone does). But I really took it to heart and I ended up volunteering as a tutor in the Chicago Communities in Schools program, and I joined the Educational Consulting Initiative, which works with Chicago Public Schools to help their operational issues. Finally, yes, I am going to Zambia in March, where I will be a part of Northwestern University's Global Health Initiative (a program focused on helping African countries diagnose AIDS more quickly). Ultimately, there are many choices in coursework and so many different career paths at Kellogg, but the access to great experiences is what really makes this place special. Now back to my usual blogging.
