Networking is too hard. I want something I can do today.

Two week ago my university held a business summit.  For those of you who don’t know what I mean by that, it’s a conference where a bunch of important businessy people come and tell everyone else how to be important and businessy too.  It doesn’t matter if you’re not majoring in business or trying to be a “businessperson.”  You’re trying to get a job, right?  You’re gonna be hired by a business, right?  Well then, you’re trying to be a businessperson.

I have no friends. And I don’t think anyone wants to be my friend.

Here’s my problem with networking: I’m a college student with no resources.  Networking is supposed to be a two-way street, right?  Who wants to be my networking buddy?  I’ve got nothing to offer.  The relationship would be parasitic rather than symbiotic.
