ACE is Half of the Equation

Shelby

As you have heard from many of my fellow bloggers, ACE is a wonderful major.  The opportunities seem endless and getting an Agricultural & Consumer Economics degree at the University of Illinois will set you apart and put you on a path towards success.  
With that being said, your ACE degree is only one side of the equation to reach the success you desire.  The other half of the equation is YOU!  Experiences outside of the classroom is what will set you apart from your peers. However, you have to be willing to take the time to get involved in clubs, pursue the internships that relate to your career goals, study abroad, and network.  
ACE will certainly get you where you want to go as long as you’re willing to put the work in.  So enough reading this blog, it’s time to get up, set some goals, and pursue the great things that you are capable of.
