Levinson Thu, 04 Oct 2007 02:33:13 +0000 http://www.collegesurfing.com/blog/?p=50#comment-2626 Hello Dawn! I am a college career advisor, and I suppose I "watched Heros" last season - in that I have counseled new college students (recent HS grads) and adult career changers since 2001 at a 2-year college - and I love it! On Commitment: I like how you put that...Make a decision, and go with it. If you can identify some aspects of your newly chosen path that really excite you, there is no reason not to go full speed ahead. The experience of living that opportunity will provide enrichment in direct and perhaps unexpected ways. I have found that age is no barrier, but attitude, enthusiasm, and committment can be if they are in the wrong place. I continually learn from all of the students I work with, my elders and "youngers". If others also take the "what can I learn from you?" approach, pursuing a new path will be a satisfying experience. Please let me know if there is anything I can offer you or your readers from the perspective of college advisor. I am happy to share experiences of people I know and how they have jumped hurdles thrown in their way. Peace, Alan E. Levinson Hello Dawn!
