🎓 Good luck to all new graduates! Here's some tips from an engineer at the other end of the journey!

After 20+ years of providing college/life/academic/settlement/career counselling for high school students in the U.S., Asian American students & families in American school systems, newcomers to Canada in Duncan, MBA students at VIU and now students across all programs at VIU, what remains the same is the sense of vulnerability and questioning of one's own worthiness in a new landscape. Peoples' worthiness never changes. The unwritten rules of the context they enter is what changes. Our job as counsellors, coaches and strategists is to create the bridge between systems / contexts for those moving between them; it is the vital importance of providing explicit information about the unwritten rules that exist and how to navigate them, and the validation that they as people are worthy and whole. My "job" is fulfilling because it aligns with my core belief that people are to be treated according to the worth they embody versus the worth that's seen. My skill is seeing how systems interplay (who knew that Management Information Systems would be how I learned to see systems of people), and teaching those who are in it to see with broader lenses, and teaching those who are navigating it how to flow through successfully.

Modern-day life often follows a set path: Study hard, excel in 10th, choose the science stream, ace 12th, pursue engineering, gain valuable work experience for two years, and secure a seat in a premier business school by cracking CAT. The journey continues with relentless dedication, interview preparations, and finally landing that coveted dream job. Then attend a 99rs masterclass which asks you to quit your job and follow your passion.
