Cary Sherburne: Hi. I'm Cary Sherburne, Senior Editor at WhatTheyThink.com and I'm here with Samantha Garrett who is an undergrad at Clemson in Graphic Communications. Welcome.
Samantha Garrett: Thank you.
Cary Sherburne: So, tell me sometimes people say, "Oh, printing isn't a very sexy kind of thing to get in to." So what drew you to that versus maybe being a web designer or who knows what else?
Samantha Garrett: In high school, I had a yearbook and I was really involved in that. I had a teacher that was just amazing; I loved her. So, I got into it because of that and then at Clemson it's so broad and I was kind of like is this what I really want to go into and I figured I could go to anything from marketing to advertising to printing. So I felt like it was a good background to have.
Cary Sherburne: So what high school did you go to?
Samantha Garrett: I actually grew up in Clemson. I went to a high school; it's about 10 minutes away in Pendleton.
Cary Sherburne: And was the name of that teacher? Let's give her some recognition.
Samantha Garrett: Amanda Griffin.
Cary Sherburne: Okay, great.
Samantha Garrett: She was awesome.
Cary Sherburne: And how much longer do you have until you graduate?
Samantha Garrett: I will graduate in approximately 70 some odd days. I graduate in May.
Cary Sherburne: In May of 2010?
Samantha Garrett: Yeah.
Cary Sherburne: And what do you want to do then? You've got a lot of ****.
Samantha Garrett: I really -- because of the fact that I really liked that running through an entire print job, I'd really like to work at a small print shop so I get to kind of see everything from beginning to end.
Cary Sherburne: And do you want to stay in that area or do you care?
Samantha Garrett: I've been looking at Charleston. I did an internship there with Sawgrass Technologies in last fall and it was a lot of fun. I like Charleston a lot.
Cary Sherburne: Yeah, I bet. So, again, if you -- after May 2010 we got some great talent here that people can contact WhatTheyThink and maybe we'll find you a job.
Samantha Garrett: Yeah.
Cary Sherburne: You never know. Okay. Thank you very much.
Samantha Garrett: Thank you.
