Sarah’s Answer

In 9th grade my art teacher suggested that I take art as an elective in High School. I was fortunate enough to go to a school where they offered several different types of art classes (drawing, printmaking, graphic design, ceramics, etc). I took an intro to graphic design class in 10th grade and was hooked. I grew up in a university town and my parents new a calligraphy professor on campus. She arranged for me to visit the campus and see a design studio. The students in there were working on actual projects for clients as part of their practicum. I found it fascinating, listening to how they met with the clients and distilled all he information they provided into a graphic solution. The idea of communicating things visually is so intriguing to me and when you add in the ability to solve a problem and reach people to create a reaction, it just seemed to check all the boxes for me. After getting a degree in graphic design I worked for a small ad agency and then moved over to a graphic design studio. I've done freelance and now work for a large company in an in-house marketing team. While those environments have changed, the challenge of solving problems visually and trying to make a connection with people is still there and what continues to drive me.

Natalia’s Answer

After getting an advice from a friend that I should consider Software Engineering as a career, I started teaching myself how to code in my free time to see how I'd like it. Turned out it was more fun that I expected and although it was challenging and often difficult, I really enjoyed solving the problems and improving my skills. After some time, I decided to study Computer Science. Hence, I strongly recommend learning more about a given filed/career to see if it's possible to try out some work yourself to see how you like it. With Computer Science it's extremely easy thank to the huge number of resources and tutorials online. Good luck!

Cristin’s Answer

I am a recruiting manager and I think the career kind of chose me, which happens to a lot of people. I was in HR and studying Social Sciences because I wanted to have a lot of flexibility and just knew that I liked people. Then I realized that pure HR wasn't my passion. I don't love writing performance improvement plans or firing people. What I like doing is giving people jobs and I really like strategy and organizational development - figuring out where to build a business (for me, people wise) to aid in the expansion. Then I got into college recruiting and realized I LOVE interns! I love seeing them grow and develop in their confidence and helping them find career clarity. Now that I've been in this field for awhile I am looking to expand my skills to international recruiting and learning more about university structures and internships/co-ops in other countries. There are always ways to grow within my field and things are always changing with new generations coming out of the university system.

Marcus’s Answer

As I finished my last year of high school, I noticed that I was really fascinated with the anatomy of computers and what exactly made them tick. Additionally, I excelled at mathematics, so I figured that studying computer science would be the best way to go.

As I made my way though college studying computer systems engineering, I realized that I actively enjoyed what I was working on, so I began to make everything I did computer programming and design, which eventually lead me to a becoming a software engineer at a mobile application company. This then led to my current internship, where I am constantly solving problems in creative and new ways.

Blake’s Answer

Hey Jessica,

I chose my job based on the college campus job offer ratio upon graduation. Now, I also did an internship before hand to make sure that I enjoyed what I would be doing, but my goal was always to make certain that the field I chose had significant job opportunities.
