When I was a freshmen in college I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to be. I just knew that communications included all the things I enjoyed and quickly found my niche. The classes were stimulating and got me excited about the future.
Years went by and the classes I chose became centered around journalism. It was something that surprised me as I had never shown any interest in it before. I was just interested in becoming a better writer and tried to take every opportunity.
I decided in my classes that broadcast journalism was the way to go. Shooting footage and piecing together the visual and verbal aspects of story was a process that made me feel I had done somthing. Using my knowledge I enrolled in a few internship programs both in Boston and in Portland ME. I made a lot of connections and further enjoyed my choice in career.
By the time I graduated I had found my calling. But, now almost two years out of college I am no closer to that dream job I had in mind when I graduated. Currently, I do work at a TV station but not doing what I want. I feel my skills are lacking as I am out of practice and my spirit has been fading. My motivation wavers which frustrates me because this is something I am interested in.
I am frustrated by this economy and the whole process of applying. Constantly waiting to hear from employers as they string you along. When will it get better?
