My name is Cody Hobbs and I am a graduating senior at Texas State
University. I am finishing a degree in Applied Sociology with a
minor in Popular Culture.
While
Interning at Texas Skate Boards and Apparel I have been involved in
every aspect of the retail business. I have learned how to
budget, pay bills, do inventory, advertise, and organize events.
During this experience I have worked with many of the local youth
and gained valuable communication skills with the younger generation.
Managing a retail store has also allowed me to use my knowledge
of Sociology to benefit the store. Recognizing trends and
normitive behavior within the skating culture has contributed to the
success of the business as welll as the satisfaction of the customer.
