Holy moly... there is so much useful advice in this video that I can't believe you're letting us watch this video for free!
As a current student at GBC who just started searching for a job this month, this video gave me a lot to think about.

I agree - I would have loved to hear this info when I was in university or considering a degree. Glad it was helpful for you!
