The possibilities are endless. At a similar banquet a few years ago, a campaign rally, I was seated next to a gen tleman who had absolutely no conversation except his work. He was a CPA who specialized in tax returns. To my relief, at the Cluster Banquet, a young woman with a bright smile and dancing eyes was led to my table. She held out her hand and said, “Hi, I’m Mitzi Bond, with the Public Relations Department at Western Electric.” I began asking the classic questions about her job and schooling. Despite her youth ful appearance, her college days at UNC-Chapel Hill are ten years past. “I was a journalism major as an undergraduate and graduate student. I went to the University of Michigan to get my Masters. I loved Carolina, they have a won derful graduate program there. But I wanted to make a change. , “You have to test yourself away from your home en vironment. The biggest test of mine was the readjustment to the raw northern weather. I did learn to wear heavier clothing. Now these southern winters seem so mild.” Ms. Bond is a native of Ahoskie. As we talked, we found out that we have several mutual aquaintances. Soon we were chattering like two teenagers in a sorority house. When we returned to more serious topics, she gave several tips on job hunting and educational preparation, applicable to any media major. “Decide on what you want to do. Go to the graduate school that offers what you want to learn, both in the classroom and out. “Media majors aren’t limited to print and broadcast journalism, though that’s the way it’s offered in college. When it’s time to interview and job himt, don’t forget the private corporate sector. Corporations hire people to do training films, broschures, and other audio-visual or print work. “Western Electric, for instance, hires more per- sonell and has more broad cast equipment at its Greensboro plant than the city’s biggest television station.” “There are a lot of ways to go in this field. I think it’s the hottest in demand now, third only to engineering and computer science.
