Re: Now it Begins
Congratulations!!!! Enjoy the AR and enjoy the rest of your life. Don't squander opportunities and don't be afraid to work hard for what you want. Don't expect to start at the top of the food chain, but work to get there.

Congratulations!
I'll give you a simple bit of advice as you start whatever career path you choose. Don't pretend you know more than you actually know. When I first ventured out into the working world, I was always afraid to admit that I did not know something as I did not want to appear stupid. Little did I realize, that everyone figured out that I did not know what I was doing right away and I could have saved myself a lot of trouble but just saying, "hey guys, I'm new here and I have no idea what you all are talking about"! It has been a few decades but I still see 95% of the new kids coming in and doing the exact same thing. The few who just walk up and say, "I have no idea how to do (fill in the blank)" earn my respect over the guys who are acting confident and tell me, "oh, yeah, I got this" but actually don't. Of course, there are always some guys who have been on the job for years and still have no idea what is going on, but that is another story. Be honest and fair and you will go far!
Good Luck!
