Will Humphreys, speaking in a short YouTube clip, advises students not to focus solely on passing professional board exams but to invest time in choosing the right company and leaders to work with after graduation. He emphasizes that while passing exams is necessary, long-term career success depends more on the work environment and mentorship received once employed.

I mentor students across the country. I speak at universities all the time. The thing I say to them is, stop worrying about passing the boards and start focusing on who you should work with. Because when you graduate, the thing that will matter is the company you work with and the leaders you learn from. If you can get that right, you'll be fine. Yeah, pass the boards, worry about it. But you've got to invest time now to start figuring that out. Because they pass the boards and they're like, everything's going to be fine. No, this is where the hardship comes in.
