My general advice to any graduate beginning their career would be to hold on to their joy. Whatever profession he/she has chosen was done so because they likely held some type of passion for it. These are unprecedented times and no one knows how long it will last, so we all have to find joy in whatever it is we have chosen to do despite this pandemic.
