Last week the capstone class got to head on down to Pittsburgh to visit one of our alums at WTAE, Sarah Bowers. I remember Sarah from when I was a freshman. She was that super-cool senior who was so good at everything broadcasting. I was always thinking how I wanted to be just like her when I was a senior! So it was so great to see her in action.
Sarah's really made a place for herself at WTAE even though she's not a reporter, which is what she first set out to be. I asked her if she's wants to get on-air and she looked at me and said, "You know what? No. I'm happy where I am right now." It was so nice to hear that even though she left college thinking she wanted one thing, she just fine--even happy--doing something else. That is definitely a relief in these planning-for-life-after-graduation times.
All in all, it was great to hang out with my other broadcasting buddies, see a real news station, and speak with some great professionals. Every time I hear from someone new, I think of other possibilities for my future. So the job search will continue...

OMG....how the heck is sarah? p.s. what are you doing these days and what time are you on the radio again? I will call you :)
I don't think Liz should count out ON AIR yet. You're too young.
I wish I were there. Sound like yinz had fun. You're thinking about not doing something on-air?! Liz...you're too good to count that out.
