Many moons ago I was graduating from College looking across the horizon for inspiration and direction. If the Weinermobile happened to pull up in that moment and offered me a job traveling across the country promoting Hot Dogs my life may have ended up very different. Instead I chose the safe route and moved onto graduate school but a voice deep down wishes I could have participated in an opportunity like the one below!

They are looking for College Seniors who will be graduating with a BA or BS in preferably public relations, journalism, communications, advertising, or marketing.

Basic Breakdown
This seems like an awesome opportunity for personal growth and tremendous experience. Being able to travel around the country after college AND BE PAID would have been a dream come true for me!

My only request is if they are hired, they need to add Buffalo NY as a pit stop so I can get a selfie with the Weinermobile!
