The document outlines an empathy map and problem statement for a student transitioning to the workforce. The empathy map shows that the student found it difficult to adapt to the change from school to work. They felt social pressure to have a career and tried several job options through interviews. They took a job unrelated to their career since money was important and enrolled as a half-time intern to gain experience. The student thinks the transition should be easier, without social pressures, and that interning in their field while in school would have better prepared them. They feel regret for not interning earlier and were desperate after many interviews. The problem statement indicates students halfway through their studies should be motivated to intern to prepare for life after school.

The stakeholder found adjusting from school to work life more challenging than anticipated. At school, she received regular grades and feedback on her performance but at work tasks and priorities changed daily without clear performance ratings. She wanted to do well but feared appearing needy if she asked for help. While open to collaboration, her more experienced colleagues were accustomed to independent work. This made the stakeholder feel like an outsider initially. She seeks a way to balance her collaborative work style with the entrenched independent culture to be viewed as a contributing team member.
Your Attitude, The Heart Of The Matter
To succeed in college, students must make an inner commitment to doing the work despite difficulties. This includes having a positive attitude, learning at an appropriate speed, and not running away from problems. Students should discover their potential through counseling services or choosing a major they find interesting. While it is tempting to avoid work through excuses or prioritizing other activities, students must make their studies the top priority and complete assignments to reach their goals.
