Kelly Scott: What is your major?
Joshua Pinson: My major right now is media production, but I’m switching to graphic communication. I have dual credit hours, so I’ll be a junior before I’m a junior.
Scott: You’re switching to graphic communication?
Pinson: I thought media production was like graphic design, but apparently it’s not.
Scott: What is it that you like about graphic communication?
Pinson: Um, I’m good with digital art and I enjoy it.
Scott: What kind of job can you get or want with that degree?
Pinson: Senior graphic designer, junior graphic designer, digital art, web site design. I want to make movie posters.
Scott: Have you joined any organizations since you’ve been at UH?
Pinson: No.
Scott: Are there any that you may want to join?
Pinson: I haven’t really looked into it all that much, but I should because I need things to do.
Scott: Are you from Houston?
Pinson: No, I’m from Brazoria. It’s about an hour drive from here.
Scott: Do you plan on staying in Houston when you graduate?
Pinson: I plan on staying in the greater Houston area.
Scott: What is it about Houston that you like, to want to stay?
Pinson: I don’t know. I’m just from around here, so it’s home, I guess.
Scott: Do you plan on voting?
Pinson: This year?
Scott: Yes.
Pinson: I’m not entirely sure yet. Like, I know I’m registered to vote, I think, but I’m not that well versed in everything and all the issues. And my political science teacher said don’t vote if you’re not well versed.
Scott: Well what are the issues that are most important to you or that you are on the fence about?
Pinson: I’m not really sure. I know welfare is a big issue right now. And just, like,†the whole socialism scare and everything.
Scott: Do you think you would become a good president?
Pinson: (laughing) No.
Scott: Why not?
Pinson: I don’t know that I could lead a country. I mean, I don’t know. It would be really stressful. Just making all the decisions.
