I remember last summer, I was at a function that my summer job was holding. When I took a break from working, I noticed a woman who was sitting alone, so I went over to talk to her. We talked for a little while. She asked me a lot about myself and what school I went to- things like that. When I had to go back to work, she gave me her buisness card. It turned out that she was a doctor and she offered me a position at a local medical center if I wanted a part time job that related to my major. I ended up working for her part time for the rest of the summer, made a lot of local hospital contacts, had a great medical learning experience and got all of my required nursing vaccinations for free. I'd say that was pretty successful :)
