6. Dream Job

I’m currently a sophomore financial consulting major here at SMU. This summer, I’ll be interning at PwC in Dallas and it should result in a return offer for next summer and a full-time job once I graduate. I hope to place into one of their strategy or financial consulting groups. I’m also preparing for the alts selection process at the end of the semester, and if I get in I will probably pursue a career in finance.

However, if I could do anything, I would be a marine biologist in Hawaii. I would want to focus on restoring the fisheries around the island and repopulating the reefs and nearshore fish population. Unfortunately, I don’t have the courage to leave my current path and try to pursue what I actually want to do. I guess I just like the stable income and structure of the careers that I’m pursuing at SMU. Maybe I’ll change careers in the future if/when I get sick of the corporate lifestyle.
