By the age of 17, Brittany Wenger had done just that, taking inspiration from her life experiences and developing Cloud4Cancer, a minimally invasive breast cancer detection tool that helps doctors diagnose the disease earlier and more accurately.

Advice for Students and Jobseekers: When Experience Comes Your Way, Take It

“Whatever hands-on experience you can get, take it, and take more than you think you can handle. Don’t limit your writing experience to the typical classroom workshop environment, where egos can be fragile and stakes are low.”

In this advice, Jane Friedman is specifically referring to undergrad students who are pursuing a creative writing degree. It’s good advice for them, and there’s more from her here.

I think this lesson applies to beginning careers of all kinds: When you’re starting out or trying to establish yourself in an unfamiliar industry, whatever experience you can get, take it.
