Dear Ted,

I hope you are doing well. I am happy to provide my advice on choosing the next step in your career. I think finding a job is the right fit for you. It’s good to gain practical experience instead of going to college or university at this point. Currently, colleges are still using age old teaching methods which I believe, you will not find interesting as there would not be enough practical exposure. 

On the other hand, working in an office with active clients will help you realize your dream of becoming a professional business analyst. When you take up a job offer, you would get an opportunity to work with design teams and interact with clients. Besides, you can also improve your interpersonal and communication skills.

You can start applying for entry level jobs or an internship. I suggest following a company’s career website and subscribe for job alerts. You can also follow Jobnet.com for job openings.

I hope my advice helps you in taking the right decision.

Yours truly,

Barney
