"I just revised my five-year career plan. Now that I attained my second degree, my immediate professional goal is to find a position or an internship with a progressive and innovative company with shared values. I'm looking forward to learning how to apply what I've learned and develop some hands-on skills. My immediate goal is to go beyond my academic accomplishments, to attain real-world working experience, and learn how to apply my contributions to my field in a real-world setting."
