For those that don't know, I will be living in New York City for the summer (June-August). I landed an internship with MTV and it's too good an opportunity to pass up.
The bad news: I have to leave my sweetheart wife in Utah. Manda has an amazing job and it's not worth her quitting for a 10-week stint in NYC. It's going to be way sad to not have her with me but I know it will go by fast.
The fact that i got the internship is random, but I applied and had a series of lengthy phone interviews and I guess they liked what they heard!
I will be working in many facets of the network. Working with live events and production, screening music videos and reality shows before they air, ensuring the quality of content, dealing with First Amendment rights, and I'm sure much more.
I'm sure some of you are thinking..."Is this kids just going to be a career intern?" The answer is, no. The reality is, I need to make myself as valuable as possible for my future career, whatever that may be, and internships are where you get experience that puts you on top.
Furthermore, I will take the opportunity I have in New York to network and hopefully do some cool jobs on the side.
It will be an amazing, fun, bittersweet summer and it's a chance I have to take.
New York...Here I come!
