Name: <\/span><\/b>Michael Schwab<\/span>
\n<\/span>Major: <\/span><\/b>Radio-TV-Film<\/span>\u00a0(now known as Film, Television and Digital Media)
\n<\/span>Hometown: <\/span><\/b>Houston, T<\/span>exas<\/span>
\n<\/span>Current City: <\/span><\/b>Houston, T<\/span>exas<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael Schwab<\/span> \u201909<\/span> graduated from Texas Christian University with a <\/span>degree in <\/span>radio-TV-film. Schwab currently works for Christian Brothers Automotive as the <\/span>e<\/span>xecutive <\/span>p<\/span>roducer, where he controls the video production process.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When choosing a college and a major, <\/span>Schwab<\/span> knew a program that included small class sizes and easy access to professors would fit his needs. Deciding to go <\/span>to TCU<\/span> seemed right as his family members attended and loved it. <\/span>During his college visit he was not only introduced to the friendliness of the students on campus, but also to the woman that would one day become his wife. He<\/span> knew that radio-TV-film was perfect for him as he always loved making videos. <\/span>Faculty<\/span> in the College of Communication<\/span> gave <\/span>him<\/span> many chances to work with <\/span>various<\/span> of aspects <\/span>of<\/span> video production<\/span> and <\/span>the <\/span>chance\u00a0<\/span>to <\/span>immerse himself in <\/span>the major.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Schwab had two internships during his time at TCU. He worked for Jason Reitman (director of <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Juno<\/span>\u201d<\/span> and the new <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Ghostbusters<\/span>\u201d<\/span>) in Los Angeles<\/span> and for a video production company in Fort Worth. Both of his internships helped springboard him into his video career.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Schwab shares the following advice to students:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1) <\/span>T<\/span>ake every chance to find internships in your field. They will help you build your career and will teach you real-world experience.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Aim high when searching. It never hurts to put yourself out there to try and land an internship with an amazing company.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Take every opportunity to find internships. The experience is important.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The knowledge Schwab gained from his experiences in <\/span>TCU<\/span> helped get his foot in the door when moving to Washington, D.C. <\/span>While there, <\/span>he <\/span>cover<\/span>ed<\/span> the 2016 presidential election<\/span> for P<\/span>olitico<\/span> and<\/span> later worked for<\/span> USA T<\/span>oday<\/span>. He interview<\/span>ed<\/span> key <\/span>public figures such as Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. With USA <\/span>Today<\/span>, he<\/span> work<\/span>ed<\/span> in Nashville and interview country celebrities such as Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Keith Urban, and many more.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Schwab said th<\/span>at the<\/span> best<\/span> advice he would give is to enjoy every minute of college. <\/span>\u201c<\/span>The time at TCU is a gift that you will never have again. Before you embark on your professional career, take the time to pursue as much knowledge and experience as you can<\/span>,<\/span>\u201d <\/span>he said<\/span>.<\/span> \u201cT<\/span>here are so many resources available to you that TCU provides. Utilize your time to build relationships with the students and professors. In the professional world, it is your connections and relationships that will help you<\/span>r career flourish<\/span>.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
