I think one of the problems I've found with having an internship is how much I dislike being at the bottom of the chain. Lately the news has been super slow, and I haven't been too busy because of it. It does make sense that out of everyone here I would be the one not receiving as much work because the others are actually being paid (!) but I do wish I had been able to help out a little more. I just don't like feeling that I'm being idle. But I guess I can just blame it on the fact that there's not much happening in the world that is too crazy these days other than the economy and elections.
Realizing this, I'm starting to rethink what I may want to do when I graduate. It's not too far off now, and as my internship ends, I'm starting to wonder exactly where I want to narrow my sites. This has been a lot harder to do than I had expected. While I do think journalism is a great field, it is so broad. It's hard to know with such little experience what exactly I want to do for the rest of my life. I know everyone struggles with this, but at the same time I just wish I was more certain about my future.
Spending time at CBS has been great, and I know it will help me add to my resume. But I don't know if I could sit and wait for assignments from other people all day every day. I consider myself to be a very passionate person, but when I'm not into something that doing then it's almost harder to get the job done. I think, if anything, my time here will motivate me to really look into what it is that I think is important to me. Part of being happy in a career is knowing exactly what it is that interests you, and makes you want to give 110% percent. It may not be what I'm doing right now, but at least I've learned that.
