Ms. Phylis Coley's intro was indeed interesting and at the same time encouraging. Most noted were her quotes that "you can't make the big money unless you demonstrate that you're worth it", "you can't put a dollar amount on integrity or reputation", "if we're not agressive, we will not get any money", "and do not expect to be catered to in the real world". In more words or less, her main point would have been to stress the importance of securing internships. After doing so, one will have the experience most companies seek. At this point, an individual can demand some level of attention when it comes to salary, not settling for less. This is what she meant by saying that we must be aggressive and prove that we're worth it. The last quote, "don't expect to be catered to..." proves that nothing is given to you. Whatever it is in life that an individual wants, he or she has to earn it.
