I enjoyed reading chapters 4 and 5 and they taught me a few things. I always thought that the things you learn in college was the things you would be directly applying to your career but chapter 4 told me that the things one learns in college are just things about your major that's suppose to introduce you to your career path and get you familiar with the material, "connect with the professors, learn valuable skills, and become exposed to new ideas and experiences you haven't even considered." So just because you went to college doesn't necessarily mean your ready to approach your career path but once you do you'll have to use that knowledge learned in college to get that very job you wish to acquire.
I got a lot from chapter five especially because for a while now I've been wondering exactly how many careers I wanted. Often times I think of having one career at a time then I think like hey, I can have more then one at a time. This chapter showed me that a person doesn't have to settle for just one career when theirs so many you have to choose from. Just because you majored in something doesn't mean that's what you have to settle with for a career because "your major is just one element of your future plans."
