<p>Agree that Matt and Ross are very unique, (though, uh, similar…) . I thought the presentation for parents was balanced by Kent Bassett who worked basically as a “gopher” for two years – doing menial chores and errands like transporting materials from one end of town to the other. Then, because of his training at Dodge, his proven reliability and his position on the inside, Kent eventually wrangled a position at the same company as an editor, which is not his life’s goal, but provides a living wage for now. Seemed like a good balance of the unique and lucky (Matt and Ross) with the usual start off in the “mailroom” route (Kent). In both cases, persistence was the common factor that paid off for these young men.</p>
<p>Also thought their message about being a good team player, a super dedicated student who works late into the night, and an overall nice person people want to work with was relevant for all students at Dodge wanting to work in the industry.</p>
<p>suka, Say more about the career night you attended for TV/BJ. Why was it all women, and what sorts of jobs did they have? It is great to hear that graduates come back to speak to current Dodge students. The school seems to have a practical, career-oriented focus with the goal of employment in sight, rather than a more dreamy art for art’s sake focus like some of the schools we visited.</p>
