Episode #1: Connor Owen, Global Product & Policy Operations, YouTube.
When Connor Owen started college as an economics major, he thought he wanted to be a consultant - even though he had no idea what that entailed. After some soul searching and a change of majors, he decided to optimize his college experience for real-world experiences, and pursued an astounding 11 internships during his time as a student. This breadth of diverse experiences as well as his involvement with student startups and The Garage empowered Connor with the knowledge, skills, and relationships to land him in Google’s rotational program after graduation. Connor’s story emphasizes that you don’t have to choose one path - you can seek out a variety of opportunities to find what you’re really passionate about and interested in pursuing after school. This conversation is brought to you by The Garage at Northwestern University.
