-: Absolutely, so as I'd mentioned,
I actually interned during my senior year.
So, it was completely one year, 12 months
while I was still at NJIT
and I've obtained the internship and the interviews
through NJIT's Career Development Services.
And so, that full year was actually
partially an internship during one semester
and a co-op during a second,
was an eye opener and really, an experience
and an entry gate for me into the industry.
And so, by the time I was ready to graduate,
I actually had multiple offers
from multiple companies and organizations,
one of which is my current employer,
who I've interned with at the time
and the exposure and the experience
to the industry that I'm in
along with the people that I work with and for,
to me, left me with zero doubt
that this is what I wanted to do
and this is what I enjoyed doing
and these are the people that I enjoyed working with and for
and this is the impact that I want to have on the world,
given the industry that I'm in.
