Everything I Know About Graduation

The day I left school was the day I went into our family business full time. 

That day was the same day I learned that I knew absolutely nothing about anything, especially after 5 years of design school. 

Why?

Because what they teach you in any given academic program is so narrow. You end up leaving everything else the world has to offer on the table, while at the same time believing that you know so much because you’ve “graduated” and have a fancy sheet of paper. 

If you’ve recently graduated, or will be graduating soon, there are a lot of things outside of school that you have yet to see. Don’t let your degree fool you into thinking you’ve got everything together (by the way, it’s totally okay if you don’t have everything together. Nobody has everything together).
