It was a great surprise when I saw it today on Brazen Careerist. You're really smart to recognize that this first entry-level position is not your "end all be all." In fact, your second, even third or fourth job will probably not be your end all be all either. Life is constantly changing. Our goals evolve, as do our responsibilities. And recognizing that is the best thing you can do to put yourself ahead of the curve. Hi Allison,
