The Senior Design Showcase today was pretty cool. There were many projects today and it was evident that most Penn State seniors are ready for the real world.
As entertaining and informative as today was, I also think it was just as exhausting. Having to set up my poster presentation, stand in front of my project, and answer questions for three hours has sucked the life right out of me. Giving the same speech thirty times today has shifted my extreme excitement about my project to extreme relief for finally being through with senior design.
I give all the respect in the world to the people that have to attend trade shows and showcases to peddle their goods everyday. As much as we are quick to make fun of Vince the Shamwow! guy for constantly acting like a tool and having a fo-hawk, he has a talent that I could never obtain. Having that level of excitement about a product for hours on end is amazing.
I guess the takeaway that I can gather from this experience is that I am not cut out for demonstrative sales. I am extremely happy I don't have to peddle my invention more than once a year. I'm not bad at it, I just think it's something I will leave to Vince and Billy Mays.
