20something profile: Michael

This post was written by Michael, who is pursuing a career in marketing:

When I was a kid in San Diego, I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. I didn’t dream of becoming a doctor, lawyer, teacher, professional athlete, or anything else. I guess I was just too busy being a kid, making new friends, laying out at the beach, and playing tennis. As I inched closer to graduating from high school, I still didn’t have any idea what my dream job was, let alone what I wanted to study in college.

It was really just luck that brought me to journalism in college. Perusing through the catalog at New York University, I stopped at journalism only because I thought the word looked interesting.

Now that I’ve just graduated in May, I can’t imagine myself doing anything else.

As a student at NYU, I concentrated in broadcast journalism with a double major in economics. I always had an urge to be onstage, having played piano in front of large audiences, sung in a choir, and acted in school musicals. This was the perfect way to channel that urge into an exciting and rapidly changing field.
