CJI Successful Beginnings


The Carolina Journalism Institute started out with a bang. From jump roping in the Horseshoe to Saran wrap racing, attendees experienced teamwork at its finest. The first day concluded with a brief orientation to individual classes. The CJI Convergence Team had its first meeting at the Newsplex in ETV studios on the second day. Their first assignment was to create a website featuring different elements of Convergence Jounalism that would educate the Columbia, South Carolina public about teen jobs. And so, Teen Job Link was born.

Finding the perfect teen job is impossible if you don’t know your likes, your passions and yourself. Pedro Lopez de Victoria, a student at the Carolina Journalism Institute has a good sense of all the above. His drive to find his place in the worlds of his interests is essential if he were to seek a job whether during or after his school career. Waiting tables and selling popcorn at a movie theater aren’t the only jobs available to teens. All it takes is a little bit of research to find the one that is right for you and will offer a great learning experience. Lopez de Victoria, for example, could easily find great that would enhance the skills he holds in the career fields of his passions. He could work in a record store, as a counselor at a music or journalism camp, in the mail room of record companies or news organizations. The list of teen jobs that can extend hobbies into a work environment is endless. These jobs can hold experience essential to getting into college and exploring majors and future careers even by just observing the environments of those fields. The job that is perfect for you is out there hiding in the classifieds because when it comes to jobs, the sky is the limit if you can properly utilize your passions which can take you to the ends of the earth.
