Nissan exec tells those she mentors 'don't decide now' – here's what she means (via CNBCMakeIt)
Sonia Rief, vice president at Nissan North America, had a passion for engineering since high school. As a self-proclaimed "adrenaline junkie," Rief would build and race cars in college at North Carolina State University, as she toldHer strong interest in car mechanics would lead her to break into a notably male-dominated industry, and after graduation, she landed her first job as a durability engineer at General Motors.
As a mentor to many, Rief says her most significant piece of advice is simple, and especially relevant to new graduates across the country: "Don't decide now."According to Rief, "so many people, especially women" feel pressure to decide what their 10-year plan will be. "You just imagine, 'How would that work?' ... And 'Could I manage a family?' The reality is, it comes together over time," Rief said. "If we try to make decisions today about things that are so far away, it's not a good way."
"I really try to keep people focused on: Are you happy in what you're doing today?" Are you living the life you want today?"
