College Works Career Impact
In one sentence, what has CW meant to you?
I learned more practical knowledge and gained priceless experience in 3 months with the College Works Painting internship (and was paid) than I did in attending a university for 4 years and paying them $120,000.
How did your CW experience impact your career? Immediately after graduation? Now?
College Works Painting is the sole reason I landed my first job and has paralleled the exact principles that are practiced today.
What was the greatest lesson you learned from your CW experience?
Don’t ever burn bridges. How to communicate in a business sense. I could literally go on and on here…
Advice
What advice do you have for potential CW participants? Current CW participants?
No single teacher, internship, or class has remotely come close to what I have gained through College Works Painting. Endure the grind. Embrace the obstacles.
What’s your favorite memory from CW?
Trip to cancun… Ill just leave it at that. Basically, Cancun was an absolute blast!!!!!!
Last words of wisdom?
Be a sponge. Be open-minded. Learn all that you can and most importantly, involve yourself with good people. Surround yourself by others better than you. Listen!
