Today when Elyse came and spoke with us, I was unsure of what she was going to be talking about. When she explained that she was a recent UNCG graduate and was going to tell us about the job she now has, I was all ears.
Elyse told us she was an English major and decided her junior year she wanted to minor in CARS. Before then she didn't even know UNCG had a CARS department. She then got an internship at the Greensboro Coliseum (which she didn't get credit for) but she wanted the experience to further assist her with her career. This was interesting to me because she still got a job with her minor of CARS after majoring in English.
She told us that it was important in the real world to have connections with people and it's all about who you know. This was true for her since she got the job at Westminster Fibers through her roomate's dad. She seems to really love her job since she gets to be really creative and do the graphic design side of the fabric business.
I really enjoyed hearing her speak. She was funny and entertaining and very informative. This opened my eyes to see all the jobs and opportunities a degree in CARS can give me.
