The last few days I've thought long and hard about my future career goals and where I see myself in the next 10 years. Professors and peers ask me about my job plan, and I always find myself answering "I want to be a PR professional in Nashville." "Why Nashville?" one might say. This growing city offers numerous opportunities for young professionals to be involved and seek for development in whatever industry they choose. Every time I visit Music City I feel a sense of home and belonging. Not only are the people welcoming with a sense of southern hospitality, but they also understand the balance between a healthy balance between work and home life. Here are five reasons Nashville's on my mind:

I recently applied to attend an Industry Immersion trip through my college to visit Nashville over fall break. If accepted to this program I would be given an opportunity to meet with potential employers in my favorite city. I am looking forward to hearing back about this program and will continue to do research on Nashville's growing industry. There's no doubt in my mind Music City has a special place in my heart, and I can see myself moving there post-graduation.
