Advice
You can make a difference at this stage in your life, so take a job where you can reinforce and support your values on a daily basis through your work. If you care about human rights, political reform, or other democratic values, you can contribute to long term change through a Tahrir Institute research internship. Don't be afraid to self-advocate and take on independent work!
