Advice
What advice do you have for potential CW participants? Current CW participants?
If you’re looking for something easy, this isn’t it.
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?
You got yourself here so congratulations on getting through the easy part. Now is the time to buckle down and make it worth your while because before you know it the internship will be over. What you do today impacts your tomorrow much more than most can ever imagine.
What’s your best advice for someone interested in entering your career field?
College Works Painting can be a great internship to involve yourself with when you’re looking to go into almost any industry, but I personally found the sales and management aspect of the internship to be the most beneficial for me and what I wanted to do post graduation.
What’s your favorite memory from CW?
Being terrified of the turtles in Mexico.
Last words of wisdom?
Don’t get use to saying I’ll do it tomorrow.
