Advice
Many college students struggle to choose between an internship specific to their target industry or doing CW. What advice would you give them on this subject if they wanted to enter your career field?
Hard to find an internship that is going to give you as much responsibility as College Works Painting does. Also, one that you can make a profit that you deserve in a sense. I choose to do this internship because of the amount of actual hands on experience you are able to get. I have had two other internships before, but they were more of filers. With this internship I was able to do something I’ve wanted to do my whole life as a freshman. Talking to colleges for MBA programs, they see the experience I have gotten from College Works Painting in the amount of time that I have been here. It goes beyond what most people to in the 2-4 years of experience you need to be qualified for the MBA program.
