But thanks for sharing what you did and any light you can shine in that subject would be most appreciated.

    Hi there! This video is super helpful and thank you again for it. My question is what would be another route to do if I never did any internships (graduated last year) and still so lost. (Hope it’s not only me 😅)

    • @MariahPerry
      @MariahPerry  11 месяцев назад +1

      Although you have graduated, there are still internships available for post graduates! I interned for ESPN for a second time after graduating college while I searched for my full-time job. Just read the internship/job requirements. It'll tell you if you can intern post-grad.

I’ve been feeling like I have no clue on what I’m going to do with this degree considering I like to dibble and dabble in different things and also thought about graphic design….any advice???

    I just watched your video it was very informative. I'll be graduating next year and preparing myself to get a job since i can't find a single one which isn't asking for 3 years experience. I have 0 work experience and I'm planning to apply for internships and after watching your video i am definitely applying to them. However im afraid i didn't hear about your salary? As a beginner how much did you earn? xx
