In 10 years....

I ran through this scenario thousands of times, trying to add or leave certain items out. Everyone wants basically the same great job, great family, and great lifestyle, but we all differ in some way or another. In ten years from now I hope to my goal of my dream job. My dream job would be working for NASCAR in their advertising and promotions division. Ever since I was a young kid I have always wanted to be a part of NASCAR, mainly as a driver but that’s not going to happen. I would like to be living on Lake Norman right outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, which is home to many drivers and top executives of NASCAR. From my family point of view I would love to have a great wife and two to three kids. I want to be able to spend a lot of time with my family and be able to travel to many different countries. These are all my hope and dreams but hopefully they will able to be fulfilled.


It’s so important - Every day we wake up, we're creating our memory. We have to create the best ones we can, even if for one day. Find your goals and take them, one step at a time. Your happiness and control form responsibility. It takes work and you must do things yourself. I’ve learned that about myself. I once thought I was under the lion’s paw but when I decided to take on responsibility I became much more free.-Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam)

Web 2.0

I think that the title represents not only how the “machine” is using us but how we are using it. The more that we use technologies such as the Internet we expand the means in which we can communicate to one another.
Web 2.0 can affect a person entering the workforce in many ways. A person may be able to communicate with other co-workers in different ways. Web 2.0 allows you to put more of your work on the Internet to showcase your skills and abilities. Web 2.0 can allow you and other employees to broadcast yourselves on assignments and other material via the Internet without actual personal interaction.
I think we will have to rethink the way we use communication with one another. We are going to have to learn a new way to communicate with one another without being in each other’s company. This will be a new way we will have to learn to adapt with communicating with one another.

A little about me...

My name is Jerry. I grew up close by and went to Pickens High School. I am a junior majoring in Management. When im not dealing with school or working I love to be outside. I am a huge Kentucky basketball fan even though Clemson has been doing better than UK the past couple of seasons. When the weather gets warmer I love to be on the lake whether it is skiing or wakeboarding or just hanging out with friends. I look foward to meeting meeting you guys this semester.
