This line of work really doesn't show what my future career path would look like. Realty Income was more of an office job while being a veterinarian is more than that. It did show me, however, how a company is run. It made me realize how much taking a business course in college could really help me own and run my own veterinary clinic. I need to know how to own a property and keep my employees in check as well. This internship and my job at a veterinary clinic has also showed me how to communicate with employees and get good working relationships. If your employees don't like you, you're not going to get them to respect you. As I've said before, employees are the core of a company and makes it run. Without them working their hardest, your company will struggle. I want to get the good working relationships I saw during internship in any future career I may have.

This internship has definitely been a good learning experience. I've seen what a professional workplace looks like and what to expect in this kind of job. All throughout the time I've been here, I've known that I had to create a project that accurately showcased what I've done and what I've learned. This is important because it shows what you really took in during internship. Some people this year may have not enjoyed their internship, but the project is so they can remove themselves from not enjoying it and try to show what they can take away from the experience. Even if you think you don't learn something, I bet you have. For me, I learned what it's like to be in this kind of work environment and how a company is run. The employees of this kind of work is basically like the parts of a well-oiled machine that makes it function. Without people actually getting the work done and putting in the time to advance this company, Realty Income wouldn't be what it was today. I talk about this more in my final project. For my project I'm going to create a presentation about why people should invest in Realty Income. At first I didn't know how I felt about this kind of project, but I couldn't really think of anything better, so I stuck with it. I'm glad I did because I think it really does show what I've taken away from this internship. I didn't do a lot of work with the actual realty part of this company, but I still learned a lot through the interviews I did and looking over the Annual Report. I used the notes I took for both of those things in my final project. This is a slideshow of my presentation I'm creating to showcase what I've done. The entire presentation also doubles as my final project since everything I talk about goes into my final question: "Why should people invest in Realty Income?"Throughout internship I've taken pictures of the things that would represent what I've done here. Here is the final photo essay I've created: |
