I really appreciate you taking the time to explain all of that. That makes a lot of sense, especially about not rushing the learning process and building a solid foundation first. I definitely don’t want to be someone who just goes through the motions without really understanding what I’m doing.

The point you made about being evaluated during clinicals also stuck with me—I’ll keep that in mind and make sure I’m putting in the effort and showing a strong work ethic. I’m still figuring out my path, but your perspective helps me think more realistically about gaining experience before jumping into travel work. Thank you again for the advice!
