Chapter 1: A Butterfly Flaps its Wings and you Find a Job.

"You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star" - Friedrich Nietzsche


I found this quote really interesting because of its meaning behind it. I agree with this quote because people do need chaos in your life in order to find your true calling. If your find yourself just following one certain path in life you might find yourself dealing with a path that you ultimately might hate. So with chaos you get the chance to experiment with things you might not have found yourself doing if you were following a linear path and you might find yourself interested in something that could make you happy forever.   


"It is ridiculous to ask liberal arts students what they plan to do in five years. They don't even know what they plan to have for dinner."-Anonymous College Career counselor (pg 8)

When I first read this quote, i couldn't help but feel some type of way. I was surprised that a College Career Counselor had said that and I would have to disagree with that because and a liberal arts student myself I do have a certain idea of what i want to do in the future and i feel that many liberal arts student do have an idea but choice to go liberal as a smart way to make sure that what they pick is the right choice.

"You might be surprised to learn that in one study of university graduates almost 70 percent reported that their careers were significantly influenced by unplanned events- in other words the butterfly effect."

I was not surprised when reading this quote because just through life experience i found alot of people find their job and careers not by planing it but by things that happen unexpectedly. For example by networking or just stumbling upon a ad or something. Many graduates don't find their careers right after college as they hope but with unplanned events that goes by their day does help to land the job they need to get.
