As a freshman I was among the few students who knew what I wanted to major in and the career I would be following. I figured no problem, I’ll major in Broadcast Journalism and get a job in TV News straight out of college. What I didn’t know is, I wasn’t the only student with the same mindset and therefore the job market was that much more competitive. Looking back I not only would have picked a double major, I would have started interning my Freshman year. Limiting yourself to one major means a guarantee that the first job you get after graduating will be in your career of choice. In today’s job market that is no longer the case. By expanding your education you are widening the field in which you may be entering and multiple majors creates more possibilities. In my case I would have minored in either Political Science or History and gone on to Law School. A law degree in my profession would have helped me greatly still today. As for internships, my school’s internship program at Emerson College began our Junior year so that’s when I got my first intern job. Looking back I wish I had started much earlier! Think about it. It sometimes takes over a year to get a job out of college so why wait until the year before you graduate to start networking? Job seeking should start freshman year and so should internships! These unpaid jobs are critical to not only on the job experience but meeting people in your industry. Remember, “who” you know when looking for a job is invaluable.
