Today was a pretty quiet day at the office. When we showed up in the morning we had a quick meeting with a woman named Morgan, and then she gave us an assignment that took us the majority of the day to finish. We moved rooms and ended up working at the “intern desks,” which meant that we finally got to formally meet one of the two other college interns that were working at French West Vaughn. I never actually caught her name but she was going into her senior year at UNC for marketing and was interning at FWV all summer. We talked to her for a little while about how she got into marketing and how she ended up with her internship. What was interesting was that she said she had no idea that she would end up in marketing when she was our age, and that when she was in high school she wanted to be a marine biologist. She sounded a lot like Rich, the Artistic Director for FWV that we met the day before. Rich also said that he never thought he would be in marketing and design when he was younger. He had told us that he wanted to be a teacher when he started college, but then slowly moved away from teaching and into graphic design as time went on. I guess both Rich and the other Intern we met just show that you don’t necessarily have to know exactly what you want to do going into college because even if you do, your interests could easily change as time goes on.
