“The experience that Student Painters gave to me turned out to be amazing.  I learned hands on how to run my own business and all the skills needed in the real world.  I decided to do Student Painters for the excellent resume builder that it gives to you, and ended up making a great deal of money to pay for my schooling.  I ran a $55,000 business and profited over $10,000, yet the best part about my summer was how I developed my communication skills with customers.”

“The door that Student Painters has opened for my future is practically unheard of.  Giving college students, like me, the opportunity to run a business and make a substantial sum of money is great.  To be a 20-year old and run a $55,000 business in about three months cannot be looked down upon.  I profited about $12,000 this summer.  It was not hard work, but it did take a lot of work to become successful.  If you have a great work ethic and dedication to thrive to be the best, Student Painters is for you.  Not only does it build up your resume, but companies or corporations may hire you on your Student Painters experience alone.  Employers will see at a young age and being a young entrepreneur, you successfully can run a business.  The fact that I had to run a crew of college students and be responsible for them, deal with customers, budget houses, and learn how payrolls work can only help broaden your knowledge on things not dealt with in a classroom.  Student Painters has given me the opportunity to grow as an individual, building my character more and more each day.  I am returning as a Regional Manager next year and look forward to helping three Branch Managers become as successful as I was my first year with the company.”

“This summer has been the best learning experience in my life.  Prior to becoming a Branch Manager for Student Painters I was curious to see what it was like running my own business.  Not only did I run a $50,000 business making approximately $8,000 in the summer, but I also gained valuable skills that I can use throughout life.  I now know how to sell, recruit, market, interview, organize, time manage, and deal with different customer situations.  I have seen what it takes to run a successful business, and through my efforts I now have the opportunity to grow with the company and become a Regional Manager for Student Painters.”

“Student Painters was a great experience.  I was able to gain valuable real-world experience as well as make a good amount of money for myself.  This experience will give me an advantage in the future with job opportunities.  I never thought that I would be running my own business at 20 years old, but with the help of Student Painters, I ran my own successful business and am going on the Student Painters Cruise!”

“My experience with student painters during my rookie year was exciting, eventful and engaging. I learned more in the past year than I have yet to learn this far in life. From interacting with people and their families I think that I gained the most real life experience and knowledge of the true painting industry. As a rookie manager I went into my first year with the company open-minded, positive and anxious. In my first few weeks of production I learned more about people, choice and the economy than I have yet thus far in my career. The business experience was great in learning how to deal with adversity on a higher level while still trying to stay positive. My profitability in my first year was just over $6,000 while producing over $30,000 in sales. Student Painters gave me the right materials and training I would need to be not only successful but also profitable. I look forward to future endeavors with the company and having a great second year.”

“Student Painters has been an amazing experience. I could not even begin to explain how much I have learned from this internship. I believe that     being involved in Student Painters will give me an edge when competing for a job in the future. I have dealt with more stress in one summer than in my whole working career. However, I enjoyed every minute of the summer. No other college internship can provide an experience like this. It is a great feeling to say that you ran a $50,000 business at the age of 19.”

“Beginning with nothing but a strong work ethic and a goal in mind, I sculpted myself into a responsible man of business and successfully produced $53,000 dollars worth of work. Amongst most of my peers, I am the only one to have real-life experience recruiting, interviewing, marketing, and managing a team of painter/cold-callers before stepping out of college. Aside, from polishing my skills in business, I drastically matured into a responsible, confident individual. Because of my success within the company, I will return next summer as a regional manager and will continue to expand my potential.”

“ It’s funny how simply answering a phone call can change your life. I responded to that phone call and I can truly say that I may have never made a better decision in my life. Unlike most freshmen in my college business courses, not only have I been taught how to run my own business, but I oversaw a $50,000 company as a first year Branch Manager. More importantly, the experience I have acquired has taught me more than hours of lectures and note taking could ever have. I have learned more in the field of business in one summer than I could have in all my college classes  combined. Having Student Painters on my resume could be the determining factor in hiring me into a job. The confidence I have gained has allowed me to believe that I can take on anything that is thrown my way.”

“They say lightning never strikes twice, well in a way it did for me. The first time I heard about being a manager for Student Painters I blew it off thinking it wasn’t for me or it wasn’t all it was made out to be. But the second time the opportunity crossed my path I took a closer look and decided to give it a shot. That decision turned out to be one of the best choices I have ever made. Student Painters taught me more in a summer about business than any class I have taken in college. It taught me how to manage my own crew of workers, create my own marketing plan, learn to become a successful salesman, and work face to face with customers. As a first year manager I ran a $56,000 business and gained more confident and knowledge in the business world than I could have ever hoped for. This experience has been an excellent resume builder and great personal accomplishment.”

"In my freshman year at Central Michigan I found out about Student Painters. I was hired as a branch manager, going into the summer I didn't really have a clue as to what to do. However through training and our great training and Branch/Regional Manager relationship setup I was able to run a $50,000 business and pocket over $10,000 myself. After completing the summer there is nothing I would rather have done!"

“When I first heard about Student Painters, I thought it was just another “get rich fast scam” that was too good to be true. After attending information sessions and interviews, I learned I had a chance to be a part of a great company that was giving a chance of a lifetime to young college students. There were no scams or hidden truths, but only motivating leaders that would give you everything you needed to be successful. It was not easy starting my own company, but overcoming obstacles lead to great satisfaction, not only monetary but also mentally. After completing my first summer with Student Painters I knew I still had a lot to prove and came back for a much more rewarding second year. I cannot even explain how fortunate I was to be able to be a part of this company and be surrounded by people that will do whatever it takes for you to be successful. In the future I plan to not only run my own branch but to oversee other managers and help lead them down the same path, and give them the same great opportunity that I also received.”

“I can remember sitting in class last year wondering how, as a freshman in college, I was ever going to find a summer job that offered me some real world business experience. Student Painters not only filled that void, but it allowed me to earn more money than I ever thought I’d make in college and gave me the confidence that comes with running a legitimate, profitable business at nineteen years old.  I ran a $50,000 business with profits exceeding $9,000.  Student Painters really is a great company, and I’m already excited to do it again next summer as a Regional Manager.”

“Less than one year ago, I did not even know that houses needed exterior painting.  This summer, I ran an exterior painting business that produced more than $60,000 while earning over $10,000.  Student Painters provided me with leadership and management experience that is nearly impossible to find as an 18-year-old.  I learned much more during the summer months than I did my entire first year at school.”

“Student Painters was one of the best experience of my life.  Not only was I able to be successful and make over $10,000 in a summer but I also gained real world experience.  I learned the importance of  good management and how much work it is to be an entrepreneur.  Selling $60,000 in painting jobs was something I would not have considered a few short months ago, but looking back I'm sure glad I did it.  Not only will this look great on my resume but I made a ton of money doing it.  Though
Student Painters was not the easiest job ever I would recommend it to anybody with the right work ethic that wants to get the most out of their summer.”

“My time with Student Painters has given me experiences that I would have never expected at such a young age. After running a $70,000 business and being promoted to a District Manager at age 20, I have realized how much Student Painters has changed my college life. The experiences and skills I have gained have helped me in every aspect of my life, from dealing with customers to changing my study habits. Having the responsibility of running my own business as well as helping fellow managers run their own, has helped me develop into the man I am today. With a strong work ethic and the help of Student Painters, I know that any student can accomplish the goal of running their own successful business.”

“This past summer was a great learning experience for me. I not only learned how to talk to people, but also learned how to market, give estimates, and run a crew of painters.  As a 19 year old, I ran an 82,000 dollar business and made 15,000 dollars over the summer. It was a great experience that will help me to become a great businessman.”

“What can I say about Student Painters? Honestly, words could never describe the amazing experience I had with this company. In my two summers with Student Painters I learned far more than my what just my college education could teach me about business and far more about myself than I ever thought possible. I would have to say that my work within the company jump started my career and put me far ahead of my peers. My business and people skills are far beyond that of the average young adult and for that I owe Student Painters. Again, words cannot say how much I have grown and learned from this company. To anyone with the dedication and determination to outperform and achieve great things, then I highly recommend the branch manager position.”

"This summer has been a great learning experience for me. I went from someone who didn’t like to talk on the phone to someone who can talk to anybody about anything. I was responsible for communicating with my employees as well as customers.  It has made me grow more than anything I have done so far. To top it off while doing this I learned how to run a business and make the decisions that affected the money that I make."

“ I first heard of Student Painters my freshman year at Miami University. The opportunity to run my own business was very exciting to me. I felt that I had the drive and passion to be successful in the world of business but I had never tried it. Student Painters gave me the training and support that I needed to become a successful entrepreneur. During my first summer after college I ran a $43,000 business and made over $10,000. My business got bigger and better each year after that which allowed me to leave college in a very good position, (no debt, and real world entrepreneurial experience). Student Painters made such a positive impact on me as a young man that I have remained with the company ever since graduating from Miami University. I offer training and support for rookie managers so they can have the same positive experience that I had. To this day I have not heard of a summer job that offers more income potential and personal growth potential as Student Painters.”

“My experience with Student Painters has really been a great opportunity, not only for the knowledge I have gained through running my own business, but also for the future as I feel confident it will help me to become a successful businessman down the road . Being a freshman in college there aren’t many opportunities out there that can compete with this internship. I had originally chose to go with Student Painters primarily for the good money involved and to make the free cruise at the end of the summer, but I truly feel like the entire journey of starting and managing a $50,000 business almost all by myself as just a freshman in college is worth more to me than the money and cruise ever will. This internship is very unique and rewarding, and I would highly suggest this great opportunity to anyone who is remotely interested in the business field.”

"Wow! What a mind-boggling summer.  If I was told that, at the age of 18, I would manage a $50,000 business and turnover $8,000 in profit, I simply would not believe it. With a spark of self-motivation, drive and passion, I feel this is an opportunity few people should pass up.”

“If someone would have told me a year ago that I would be running my own business, employing ten people, preparing my own payroll, marketing and estimating all of my own business, I would have thought they were crazy. Student Painters gave me the confidence and support I needed to run a successful business. When my friends were busy cutting lawns and working as busboys, I was busy producing $75,000 worth of work and earning close to $20,000 all in a single summer. In the near future when employers are looking at my resume, it is going to feel good to know that I have the upper hand because of my experience through Student Painters. I am a young person with no prior experience in business, and now after four months I will feel more comfortable after graduation about joining the business world with the experience I have gained through Student Painters.”

“Working for student Painters was the greatest achievement I have ever
accomplished.  I cannot stress how much I learned about business in just
one summer.  I feel I definitely developed good communication skills.  Last summer my partner and I ran the largest branch in the company producing about $90,000 and made a profit of $10,000 each.  I loved working for Student Painters not only for the money but for the flexibility.  This past summer I had the opportunity to grow with the organization. I was promoted to a Regional Manager position and in total oversaw a $110,000 business while earning over $15,000. What a great BUSINESS EXPERIENCE this has been for me.”
