So you want to be the next Michael Crichton, but you don’t know how to break into writing science fiction? Or, you want to be the next Rahm Emanuel, but you don’t know how to get into politics? It takes more than just stocking up on the latest Obama merchandise and reading the news sites. Talk to people who do want you want to do for a living. Ask them where they went to school, what classes they found useful and if they belong to any professional associations. Read your role models’ biographies and fan sites to study the paths that they took. It is wonderful to want to follow your career dreams, but it’s even better to have a focused path as you follow them.
