“Don’t go for something that sounds sexy on paper‚” stated my professor as she poured my class a glass of her great wisdom at the end of the semester. Truer words never ringed so clear and I wished I heed her advice months prior. I thought I hit the gold mine when I found a high-paying graduate assistantship dedicated to social justice.
