How has this experience affected or changed your career/college plans?
Prior to this internship, I was pretty serious about seeking a career in the medical field. I wanted to be a Physician Assistant before this internship, and now I have taken a complete U-turn in life and I'm going to do Engineering at NC State where I will study Computer Science. In fact, if you asked me if I wanted to do anything in the IT field a couple of years ago, I would've completely ignored the question because I hated programming. But through this internship, I've learned that the IT field is not just someone sitting in a cubicle coding all day - it's a field that requires skills for a variety of jobs. Communication, meetings, presentations, software, creativity, and efficiency are just a few of the aspects of IT that I discovered through my internship at the Town of Cary. I enjoyed the experience of being in an "office-like" environment as opposed to me running behind patients all day in a hospital. I would've never thought about going into Computer Science, but now that I am, I don't think I could've been more confident with this career decision.
