What should I do after graduating college?
I recently got accepted into Notre Dame's Master's of Science in Digital Marketing program, and I have less than a month to decide whether to go or not. I am currently a senior at Eastern Illinois University and work as a creative media intern for the FCS-level Division 1 athletic program. My goal is to work for a college athletic department in marketing, communication, or student-athlete brand development. I don't want to be stuck doing content creation such as video and graphic design forever. I want to work at the Power 4 level eventually. If I went to Notre Dame, I would have to take out at least $50k more in student loans. I likely will be able to be a student intern for Notre Dame athletics social media, which is paid hourly, but I have not found any opportunities that directly help pay tuition. My other path would be applying for entry-level jobs in college athletics or other graduate assistantships, but those opportunities won't really be open for me until around January since I am graduating in May. I understand working in sports, especially college athletics, is all about connections, so I understand how valuable building a network at Notre Dame can be. Especially since my network is mainly just Eastern Illinois, which isn't at the Power 4 level and where I want to end up eventually. Plus I understand having connections with the Mendoza School of Business will be very helpful if I want to work outside of sports.

When you are feeling burned out, how do you distinguish between "needing a fresh start (like going abroad)"
Hi all I’m seeking advice on how to navigate a major career crossroad. Right now, I feel stuck between wanting to pursue what I’m naturally good at, dealing with personal energy limits, and deciding whether to take a big leap like moving abroad. Here is a bit about my situation: My Strengths & Interests: I am fluent in multiple languages and have a deep passion for writing essays, storytelling, and creative expression. Ideally, I want to direct my time and energy toward work that aligns with these talents. Current Challenges: I am currently feeling extremely drained by my job, and managing depression/burnout makes it hard to maintain energy. External Pressure & Market Reality: The local job market feels uncertain, which makes me hesitant to quit without a solid plan. On the other hand, my parents are encouraging me to go abroad for new experiences while they are still in a good position to support my independence before they retire. My Dilemma: Part of me feels I am rushing to find an exact answer or immediate growth. However, I want to make sure I am clear about what I actually want to achieve—and build enough stability within myself—before making a big move like quitting my job or relocating. Jobs I did is mainly administrative work and all that skills I learned is exclusively for the job and the company and now I want to build skills that are able to make me feel I am real skilled
