Alumni of PCT // “Music has always been an end-goal of mine, whether working in a creative role or fostering the creative process on the business side. A little over a year ago, I was rejected from three of my ~dream jobs~ in a matter of weeks. However, these jobs were in the consulting space, which prompted me to question where my true passion lied. Was I pursuing these roles because my environment (parents, friends, business school advisors) was defining an external vision of success, or was I relegating my passion to a 5+ year goal on my own initiative? These rejections served as a wake-up call that these consulting jobs were merely a means to an end, and I was selling myself short by not pursuing what I really cared about.

Immediately following these rejections, I applied to Berklee College of Music’s masters program in Global Entertainment in Music Business in Valencia, Spain and was accepted by the end of the semester. Fast-forwarding to today, I’ve been living in Spain and traveling throughout Europe for three incredible, eye-opening months, I’m managing Berklee’s own independent record label, and every day I’m moving towards actualizing my longtime dream of working in the music industry. My advice to anyone reading this, regardless of what career stage you’re in, is to take time to remove yourself from the daily grind and consider who’s shaping your definition of success and whether your passions / goals truly align.” (Jacob Lapidus, Class of 2019, Majored in Finance & Operations Management and Business Analytics)

Alumni of PCT // “Frederich Nietzsche, a German philosopher and his writings from the late 1880's has helped inspire me to be my best self, to relentlessly pursue my interests to help elevate society as a whole. Nietzsche's various writings have profoundly impacted the way I see the world and has provided me an avenue to see things for what they are yet always question conventional wisdom. From a mental health standpoint, Nietzsche has helped with my self-overcoming and will to power with who I am as a person, aiming to help me move towards more sophisticated, expressive, and potent modes of action and expression. His writings continue to inspire my day to day and continue to make me question various aspects of the world.” (George Lee, Class of 2018, Majored in Finance)

“I want to be content. I don't hate my life right now but I don't love it. A while ago I would have loved the idea of working any job that makes bank. Right now I'm reconsidering all of that. Reconsidering what it means to work for a company. Reconsidering what it means to put in x amount of hours. Reconsidering what it means to feel passionate. Reconsidering why I want what I think I want. Reconsidering what I want to get out of everything I come across. Most importantly, reconsidering how all of this fits into my life. Maybe it's lazy, maybe it's idealistic, maybe I’m not using all my "potential" but sometimes I wonder if it's worth it to be so bought into the rat race.” -Chineme Obiefune, Class of 2018, Majored in Operations Management and Business Analytics

Brothers of PCT // “I spend a significant amount of my time figuring out how to escape. Finding the shortest route from A to B and letting the stars align from there. People have called me lazy and stupid and wonder when I’m finally gonna clean up my act. From my perspective there will never be a time I “clean up” because I know what I’m doing is a conscious choice and not simple incompetence. I act this way not to lash back at the system or my peers but because my escape is in my own head and I am constantly trying to fill my void of passion and life. Simply thinking about things that are illogical or impossible. Wondering when the next trip I can take with my friends will be. When that next experience will be my pinnacle. If that next person I meet will be my best friend. To make a long point short, don’t rush to get where you want to be in life because eventually there will be a time you want to feel ‘truly alive’ and you forget how to do it. Live one moment at a time and find your escape. Everything happens for a reason ✌🏻❤️” (Adam Robinson, Senior, Marketing and OMBA)

Brothers of PCT // “I have always been really extroverted, I get energy from being around other people and staying busy all the time. My sophomore year I had to withdraw from the fall semester because I had a neck injury that put me in the hospital for a long time and left me with chronic pain. Initially I was on a lot of medication that reduced my cognition and energy levels and was told by every doctor there wasn't anything they could do/that I wasn't going to get better. I wasn't able to go to class or go out with friends and just constantly felt really alone. I remember when I was eventually able to come back to school it was even more difficult because I had been through this big traumatic experience and was still in pain every day and everyone else's lives had just been going on normally. Its hard to explain. Its just the kind of thing that can make you feel worthless. That moment really changed my life both literally and figuratively. Though there are a lot of negatives I learned so much about myself and my priorities. I learned how strong and resilient I was. I learned to value my family in a deeper way then I had before. I learned how important it is to surround yourself with the right people *cough phi chis cough*. I learned about all the other people struggling with chronic pain - so many people have invisible illnesses and pain that doesn't have a visual cue so its SO important to treat everyone with respect and kindness because you can really never know whats going on with them. I've been able to really prioritize the things that matter to me in life. Looking back I don't think I'd change the situation, obviously I wish I didn't still have pain but the way my outlook on life has changed has really shifted this experience from something I'm embarrassed of to something I'm proud to talk about.” (Anne Marie Demme, Communications, Senior)

Brothers of PCT // “My dad is a pretty logical guy. Always doing stuff by the books, will think through all his decisions pretty rationally, and does chores on the weekends for fun. That's why it still blows my mind that he randomly bought a boat 15 years ago.... but forever grateful he did. If I could realistically spend my life cruising around on that boat, there is no doubt in my mind I would. I will always remember the first day he let me steer that bad boy. It was a late afternoon and we were on our way back from a fishing trip. The bay was the calmest I'd ever seen. I was kneeling up on the chair because I couldn't see outside the window (Hard to believe, but I was once short). It felt like I was flying. Sometimes I still have dreams of that exact moment. It hasn't lost its touch to this day. Sometimes I'll just anchor out in the middle of the bay, lay down on the front of the boat and just listen to the water bumping up against the boat. There's something about it. I can't really put my finger on it, but its there. Every time I step on that floating piece of plastic I feel alive.” (Jared “Jord” Remien, Finance and Information Systems, Senior, President 2018-2019)
