Learn how to sell yourself and network, put yourself out there (you have nothing to lose), and be open to opportunities and learning things you never thought you would be interested in!
I was able to work directly with professors and their labs to learn the ins and outs of research, while getting my own hands-on experience. This took my learning outside of the classroom and encouraged me to consider the different types of careers I could pursue following my degree.
As many industries are changing how they conduct business, the numerous skills/knowledge learned is unparalleled: research methods, statistical knowledge, and soft skills.
