"The best thing that prepared me for the real world was my internship. It applied my classroom knowledge in the real world. I would recommend that every student pursue an internship to enhance their experience as a student. Several employers have great respect for current students and graduates from the UNL College of Business. I would say to take advantage of the career fairs and the career center that Carol Rogers and Tom Allison manage."
