Young people in college are at the perfect time in their life when they can gain experience, learn, change and grow without troubling consequences. Sometimes students will have multiple jobs as they complete their degree. Some people like rapid change, others sought new opportunities and sometimes a job just isn’t the right fit. By experimenting and learning what type of environment you work best in now, you are more likely to be successful when choosing a career.
Fashion Design major, Dominic Lajoie, is certain he wants to work in a highly interactive environment helping people. Throughout his college career he has been employed at American Eagle Outfitters as a Sales Associate, the University of Performing Arts as a Ticket Sales Member and currently as a Customer Service Representative for SLiCE in the Lory Student Center here at CSU. “The best part about all my jobs is the service aspect. When people hear customer service they’re usually a little underwhelmed at what I do, but they don’t know that I work with students, faculty, professors, community members and pretty much anyone else who wants to make or difference or get involved,” Dominic says, “I love meeting the faces of the people behind the projects that impact Fort Collins and the CSU community.” Student employment is a great tool to use when finding your true calling. Although some may disagree with Dominic, he enjoys working because it takes his mind off of the stress of school. His job gives him the feeling of fulfillment and he hopes to continue this trend into his career.
