My plans after I graduate

Leave a comment

This week’s blog will be about my plans after I graduate (ew I never want to graduate). Clearly, since I’m only a sophomore I have no clue what the hell I’m going to do after I graduate, or even if I will graduate, but I got some ideas so I might as well throw them out there. At this point in my college career, I still like being a marketing major and would love to get into the sports and entertainment industry, more specifically doing marketing for an NBA or NCAA team. I just love watching basketball and football, mainly college and then the Milwaukee Bucks, but I’m also fascinated with the behind the scenes stuff. I follow/keep up with many of the students who work for Dayton’s athletic marketing team, and I love seeing all the content they are making and where they go once they leave UD. It is just a field that really interests me and I want to have a job I love, not just one that pays the bills, so I can wake up every day and do something I’m truly passionate about. I’m sure I won’t have much money once I’m done paying to go here, but I would like to find sometime after I graduate to go travel since I’ve never left the country and probably won’t be able to study abroad since it is so expensive. Ideally, I’d like to just take a gap of like 3-5 months and go visit all of the places I’ve been dying to go, experience new things, and get out of my comfort zone. I’d also like to go visit family abroad and maybe try learning a new language. 

My Dream Job

Leave a comment

This week’s blog will be about my dream job (emphasis on DREAM). I have always been really interested in film making, videography, and editing videos I take to tell a story. In grade school I would always be playing around with our school’s video cameras with my friends, making short movies about literally anything. It was just so interesting to me how to come up with fun ideas to shoot, unique angles to shoot from, and taking the ordinary footage and editing it into something really fun and visually pleasing to watch. To this day I still am constantly taking videos of everything I do and editing montages or short films. In high school, I started following a lot of self-made videographers and people who shoot sports and edit them into the marketing content. I’m a marketing major right now and really do love business and the concepts behind marketing, so I thought it was a good choice for a major and I want to incorporate my love for videography and filming into a future job. My dream job that has been in my mind for the past few years is sports and entertainment marketing. I want to work for either the Milwaukee Bucks, University of Wisconsin, or the University of Michigan in their athletic/marketing teams and be able to shoot a variety of sports (mainly men’s basketball and football) and create the marketing content for their social media accounts. I really want to get involved with something like that at Dayton while I’m going to school here to get my foot in the door and see if its something I’d be good at or passionate about.
