However, it isn't that simple for most. Many seniors are looking for the options that suit them best and that can sometimes take months of searching. Some seniors are looking forward to attending graduate school so that they can score an even better career. One senior majoring in management and human resources, Kara Bergloff, said she was offered a position as manager at Radio Shack. The catch is that she would have to relocate to Seattle and the pay wasn't what she dreamed it would be, she said. So it is back to the books for Bergloff, as she will be attending USU again in the fall to eventually get her master's degree. On the other hand. Rich Wilkinson, a senior and history major, said he has a job lined up and still plans to get his master's degree. The job he will start in the near future is not where he would like to stay, Wilkinson said. He has big dreams of hopefully expanding his accounting minor during grad school so he can one day work for Bank of America as an accountant. For now he said he will be working "at my dad's friend's company designing military aircrafts." Ryan Knighton is graduating with a social work major and has already put his skills into action. He currently works at Bear River Mental Health as a development specialist. Here, Knighton said, he applies the knowledge he has about social work to help people with mental illness develop social skills so they have they can successfully survive in the community. He said it hasn't been easy figuring out his career path. When he started college he wanted to study political science. "I didn't feel like I was satisfied with that major and social work has been a greatfitfor me," Knighton said. Knighton has talked to a few people about being hired for social work positions but nothing is set in stone, he said. He will wait until he graduates, move to Salt Lake City and see what positions are open, he said. "Part of me has been a little worried because social service jobs are being cut. It's going to be tough finding a decent paying job," Knighton said. As the end of the year winds down, seniors everywhere will face similar situations and prove that there is no formula for what happens after graduating. -catherine.m@aggiemailMSu.edu 1 CLARKSBURG • BRE&LAW • STONELEIGH Logan*s Premier S t u d en t Apartments SOLD OUT NEXT SCHOOL YEAR- TAKING^SUMMERAPPLICATIONS ONLY CLARKSBURG „ . _ BRESLAW " „ ,,_STONELEIGH I-or moiv iiiloriii:iiion rail P.nia • (43s) 7SS-*$-$ • I'.igrr (43s) 2(>6-J92<j • d d i i a d c l a r k - ' p a i . n c r r Single Student Apartments ; ; vj^g<-J»-*:, i Across the Street from Campus "}*^] Fully Furnished , , : i,^.,v^ Private Bedrooms and Bathrooms Desk, Bed, Bookshelves in Bedrooms Large Closets - Vacuum Living Room with TV, DVD, and VCR Modern Fully Equipped Kitchens -;.: Cable TV with Outlets in Bedrooms Washer and Dryer in each Apartment Central Heating and Air Conditioning High Speed DSL Internet Service Private Parking - No Hassles Fire Places |
