- Earn a graduate degree to pursue university teaching and advanced research positions.
- Obtain relevant experience through internships and summer or part-time jobs.
- Get involved in relevant student organizations and seek leadership roles.
- Develop transferable skills that most employers value, such as communication skills, leadership ability, creativity, ability to work on a team, and self-motivation.
