Brianna Duvall

When you graduate college, what do you expect to do? Do you go back home to live with mom and dad? Do you find a job related to the past 4 years of studying you've done? There are a few students who can tell you.

Brianna Duvall, graduated from the University of Texas in December, 2016. She studied Advertising and has found a few internships over the past year related to what she studied but currently she is not working a job related to advertising.

Duvall works at a gym in Austin, TX called Body Business Fitness Club. "I work at the gym because I enjoy working out and its easy. Paying off school definitely means that I have to keep working a job, even if it is unrelated to what I studied. Working here makes me social and also helps me with working out and finding little things and hobbies that make me happy,” Duvall said. 

Duvall works with other friends at the gym who have not graduated yet but are also just working to pay off bills and finish school.

Duvall interned at Public Blueprint in Austin as a copywriter and a freelance writer. 

"I created bi-weekly and monthly creative content calendars based on analytics taken from social media websites and where the company needs more attention," Duvall said. "This internship taught me a lot about how important deadlines are. I also provided copy for new business pitches as well as edits to the deck.”

Duvall did not receive a job offer from Public Blueprint but is also glad because working through the company she discovered writing social media content was a big part of her job and she did not want to continue doing that.
