Friends in high places

They're certainly a great thing to have.

When your in a jam, when you need a job.

The thing about having a network, though, is that you need to have one before you need one, and you need to be in one before you can do that.

Being apart of the family, the tribe, or the cohort--whatever and wherever yours is--is integral to finding the people who can help you when you need them.

(Best to join sooner than later.)
