If they’re disorganized, can you show huge interest, maybe get into an impactful role and then future leadership.
My daughter actually started a club at her school four years ago. So maybe start one of your own interest. Connectivity, as an example, is huge today. OEMs care less about the product and more about the services - that’s where the future $$ will come from and a lot of the investment is today - selling subscriptions as a profit center, vs. the product. Maybe you can find someone at Nissan and set up an informational interview - to find out about the industry. And then start a club around it - maybe it’s a career exploration of people interested in automotive. Nashville is a home run city for the industry. You can set up tours of the Nissan facility in Franklin, the huge plant in Smyrna, and help establish contacts for others interested. You don’t have that access in PA.
Or go to the leadership at the club, express your interest and concern, and see if you can help make an impact. Maybe you can muscle the club to activity. You’re likely not the only one disappointed - but maybe they need a true leader, someone passionate. That can be you!!
And please discuss your homesickness or other challenges with someone. Make an appointment at the counseling center. It’s important you find someone to speak with.
The good news is - what you’re feeling is likely far more common than you think.
