I was undecided about my next move after high school. I didn't want to go to college because I didn't feel like school was for me. My senior in high school I took a TV Production class and fell in love with it. I finally had a new look on life and where I wanted to go in life. I went to a community college and earned my Associate degree in Television Broadcasting but soon after I realized that finding a job in the television field is hard. So I applied to a few internships and got a call back from the Maury Show. While interning there I networked with other interns and found out a lot of them were seniors and they mentioned how hard it’s been to find a job, in the Television field. As I began looking for jobs I noticed a lot of jobs required a Bachelor's degree. So just when I thought I was done with school, I had to get ready to endure another two years at Kean University. While at Kean, I got more reassurance that this Media and Film industry is extremely hard to get into and made me questioned whether or not if I should change my major to something I truly didn't want to do but had lots of jobs opportunities (like nursing). I ended up taking a semester off and gave up on the TV gig. During the semester off I kept thinking to myself, I would regret not going through with the Television career in future. So I decided to go all out with my TV career and if it didn't work out I knew I tried my best and wouldn't have to keep asking myself "What if". I got another internship and went back to school the following semester. It's been my best decision yet, my internship offered me a job as an assistant editor and I'm graduating from Kean University this year.
