I am a realtor, in a rural, college town.
I am very eclectic with diverse interest and friendships so I spend a lot of time reading, studying and following almost random thoughts and ideas. My doctor told me I have ADD when I was about 50. My work habits may not be the best example but I've found ways to deal with things in my own style and I have had a fair amount of success doing things my way. Although there are always a variety of task to do, I always put people first when the opportunity arises.
Here's the first step for college students
Find people who you think are successful in the field of your interest and pursue them as mentors and friends. Stay in touch with older friends and mentors. Be the one who picks up the phone and calls, stops to visit, writes letters. Don't give up! The power of association is everything. Where you will be years from now is a direct result of the people you associate with.
