I was in my last year
of University, and I was freaking out because after four years I still didn’t know how to go about getting a job or even what I wanted that job to be. In high school you think that the hardest
decision is where your are going to get your post secondary education, I’d like
to argue that figuring out what to do after that is even harder and way
scarier. All of a sudden, you’re an
adult, a real adult, finished school ready to enter the world of
employment. Except, I wasn’t ready, not
at all. I Studied Communications at Wilfrid Laurier University, for four years.
I finished with a solid GPA; I had made connections and friendships that I will
hold onto forever. But I was in no way ready to go out in the world and start a
career.
While in my graduation-induced panic, my dad suggested I
look at this Advertising program at Sheridan College. I looked online and liked what I saw. First
of all it worked well with my Communications degree, and secondly I already had
an interest in the world of advertising. It seemed like a no brainer, and it
was in my hometown. So I could live at home, save some money
and hopefully get the added education that would help me prepare for the real
world.
I’m now in my second semester of the Advertising Account
Management post-graduate program. It was exactly what I needed to do, and it
continues to impress me way beyond my expectations. This blog will be
about my experiences past, present and future at Sheridan College.
