What Do You Plan to do After College?

Good Morning!

This blog post will be dedicated to answering these specific questions for a potential scholarship:

What do you plan to do after college? How would you use the internet to help you excel in your occupation?

As many of you know, I have a travel list that I'd like to complete before I die. If you don't know, here is the link: 
My Not-So-Short List of Travel Destinations

But, after college I plan on working in the Film Industry. So, my dream job would be one where I'd need to travel to different locations of the world to film, and then come back to the U.S. for a few months until I finish editing that project and can begin my next. Or, I would also like to be hired by an international company, and create videos for their website(s) or youtube. 

A company I am specifically interested in working with is EF Tours--I've had a few experiences with them, and they appear to have a safe, fun, and diverse work atmosphere. EF stands for "Education First" and they are a touring company for high schoolers or college level kids, but both times that I have traveled with them there have been kids of all ages, and many adults along to "chaperone". I also have a friend, Maddie, who went on these trips when she was younger with her family, even though they were not affiliated with the school they traveled with. Typically on their trips, the group tours something historically significant in  the morning, and then break for lunch. While on lunch, you can go anywhere you'd like (they just ask that you stick with a buddy or two), and then explore the city you happen to be in all afternoon until the meeting time--usually around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. They travel all over to many different countries in Asia, Europe, South America, North America, Africa, and the South Pacific. The group leaders I had were both very fun and knowledgeable people, and they kept us safe and informed as we traveled. They will even relax with you when the day is done, or at meals, and talk about anything and everything--and both of my leaders loved to take pictures with all of us! Hmm. Maybe they need a multimedia filmmaker to accompany several groups per year on their trips... :).

The internet would help me excel in my occupation because I am very interested in multimedia on the web. I would love to be the multimedia manager for a company someday as well; maybe to ease my way into the world of filmmaking, and to use my Film Studies and cultural reference knowledge there.
The internet would also help me as I search for a job, or if I were to do research for a company on recent news happenings. The internet would also help me in my job field if I were to travel somewhere, and I needed to find out things about the culture, weather, language, modes of transportation, etc. of that country.
The internet is such a powerful tool for research and communication that I don't know what I'd do without it. I am constantly on my computer, or phone, throughout the day. Trying to find out a certain piece of information, or talking to a family member or friend from back home. I can't even imagine how other people lived from day to day without it (that would be an interesting experimental documentary...?)!

Anyways, I'm off to finish a project for my Intro to Film Production class. Final countdown begins. Only three weeks left (WISH ME LUCK! AHH FREAKING OUT).


I'll write soon... I promise this time! ;)
