Interview #5 with Juice

My approach to the interview process has been straight forward and random, since I'm great with people I decided to go to university hall and interview role models fortunately for me many students do not take advantage of office hours so gathering these interviews was quite easy. This time I was went to the 10th floor of university hall and the fist office I saw that was open I went into when I entered the office the lady that was in the office said "can I help you"(she was a white which was a plus) and I said you most certainly can help me, and thats when I asked her for an Interview and she said ok, come to find out she is a teaching assistant and her name is Maria. Maria is unique because she wants a Ph.D but does not really want to teach instead she wasnt to find a job in coorperate America. When she told me this it made me think that even if I did not become a professor if I get a Ph.d I could use it in other areas. I asked Maria why don't she want to teach which to me was wierd because she is already an teaching assistant, she stated that she did not want to teach because she dont like being stuck in a class room. Maria is also a much older woman she looks like she is in her late 30's (out of respect I did not ask her how old was she), she eventually told me that after undergrad(Michigan State) she took some time off and was working for different companies and organizations this was her motivation to get a higher level of education to some day have a higher position in the coorperate world, The problem that she had to face was going back to school because it would mean that she could no longer work as often as she did and this would cause her to get less money, thats when she said that sometimes you have to take a step back in order to get to where you want to go. I myself learned a lot from this interview and it made me realize that road blocks will occur when accomplishing a goal and that I might have to go back and redo step 3 in order to move one to steps 4,5,&6, Interview #6 will be conducted Monday at 1:30
