Three seniors found the right paths for their post-college
careers that lead to California, Germany and Japan
BY EMILY VANDEHEY
DAILY EMERALD FREELANCE REPORTER
Graduation — and entry into
the real world — is inevitable.
One day there will be no more
classes, part-time jobs, partying any
night of the week and vacations
every 10 weeks with summer breaks.
Although “growing up” might
sound dreary, there is no reason for the
fun to stop. For some, it is only a mat
ter of finding the right path to make the
next step in life interesting. Three sen
iors at the University found the path
best suited for them through travel,
work or a combination of both.
Christen Moore, who graduated
winter term, could not resist the temp
tation to travel after years of studying.
“I wanted to take time off before grad
school,” Moore said. “I figure I’ll have
the rest of my life to work in my career. ”
For now, Moore committed to a pro
gram called Camp Adventure, an in
ternship that sends college students
and graduates to volunteer as camp
counselors for kids who live on mili
tary bases around the world. Camp
Adventure provides the counselors
with a plane ticket, housing and a liv
ing stipend of about $20 per day.
Summer 2004 was Moore’s first
time as a Camp Adventure counselor.
She traveled to Zama, Japan, an hour
and-a-half train ride from Tokyo, and
volunteered on an Army base. Because
she has graduated, she will help at one
camp this summer and then join the
Children’s Development Center as a
staff member in the fall. Her first stop
will be St. Mawgan, England, and then
she hopes to live in southern Germany.
Although she is excited about
traveling, the job also caters to her
future career plans: She wants to
become a therapist who works with
children, specifically those who are
emotionally disturbed.
Senior Eugene Roberts plans to use
his degree in Japanese to go to Japan
to teach English. He will soon fly to
Los Angeles to interview with AEON,
a business that sends native English
speakers with bachelor’s degrees to
Japan to teach English.
If Roberts is accepted, AEON would
provide him with housing and pay him
about $30,000 to work an average of
25 hours per week for one year.
“I don’t want to have to get a real
job out of college, and (living in Japan)
will really help me with my Japanese,”
Roberts said. “Why not live there for a
year and get paid for it?”
Roberts wants to use his Japanese
language skills in his future career and
believes teaching in Japan is the best
way for him to become more acquaint
ed with the language.
Senior Steve Johnson, an account
ing major, has already secured a job as
a staff accountant working in audits
for Conrad and Associates in Orange
County, Calif.
Starting in mid-July, Johnson will go
through about two weeks of training
exercises before he starts working with
clients. For 40 hours per week and
$39,000 per year, Johnson will be pro
viding clients with audit assurance
services, which ensure the clients fol
low accounting standards and work
with good business practices.
“Having a job secured is a big relief
off my shoulders right before gradua
tion,” he said. “Now I know I can pay
off the out-of-state tuition.”
