"C - ya 'round suckas!"

The UTEP Prospector's Ms. Elida S. Perez signs off in style...

Thursday, May 6, 2010.


Can it be true?

She was actually already reporting 'way back in Summer 2006? :)

Anyway.

As she tells us, albeit only in part, on the vital role played by internships:


"UTEP journalism students are also encouraged to apply for internships.

"I can attest to the fact that without these internships, the chance of finding a job does becomes more difficult.

"Editors don't want to hire someone fresh out of college without newsroom experience.

"I can say that after completing three of them from the Pacific Northwest to Washington DC, that yes, this is exactly what I want from a career..."

And, you can be sure she's already on some Big City Paper's payroll.

"What a way to go!" :)
