Paula Zimmer, Libby Hurley and Jenna Bellucci all found themselves in marketing support positions with various tasks, but one thing in common: the need for a strong work ethic to keep their competitive edge. Maricatherine Garcea describes why they find that so important
Nadine Krimow and Sherry Jackson majored in communication at Fisher thinking they wanted to be television journalists. Both changed their paths along the way and ended up working in public relations/advertising agencies. Stevie Goulette explains why they decided to go in a different direction.
In similar fashion, three young journalists -- Craig Kanalley, Bill Kuchman and Emily Shearing -- also ended up in jobs that weren't exactly what they imagined when they started their college career. Amanda Carpenter has their story.
The one thing all of the young professionals have in common is early-career success. They also have similar stories to tell about how their college experiences, especially internships, prepared them for what they are doing now -- or in some cases, helped them decide what they did not want to be doing professionally. All of them are making their way in the world by giving it all that they've got.
