BLOG: Manufacturing Madness: What are the Odds?
As NCAA basketball wraps up for the season, student-athletes must now figure out their next step. For the majority of students who don’t plan to play professional sports after college, it’s important to maximize the odds of being hired to a quality job, especially considering that the likelihood of being hired into a STEM job are much higher than being drafted into the NBA.
