Just giving you an update... I have been working at a small advertising firm in Grant Park, IL as an intern. The company specializes in business to business advertising within the food industries. If I do well, I'll be asked to stay. They like me so far, so fingers crossed. I absolutely love the job, and the people that I work for couldn't be nicer. I just wanted to say thanks for your educational training. Without it, I would still be waiting tables. Brian, thanks for all the harassment of checking the AP Stylebook. I keep a copy on my desk, and it helps tremendously. Also, good writing skills are so essential! Your writing tips help me on a day-to-day basis. Dr. Rosner, the digital portfolio teaser pretty much got me the job, so when your future portfolio students complain.. just let them know that it is an invaluable tool. Dr. Marshall, the abundance of projects you have made me juggle during my time at USF is really paying off, as I am able to handle my time management (finally). It's really rewarding having a job that I like, and it has finally come full circle when I get off of work and think, "Thank God I went to college!" Hope all is well in MCOM land, and I can't thank you guys enough!
