Plan ahead - use your time whilst still at university and just afterwards wisely - think about the things you can be doing to get experience, build networks, learn new skills. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know what you want to do when you graduate - think more about the person you want to be, the lifestyle you’d like to have and work inwards from there.
