im pretty much done school as of right now, with the exception of a 4 month work term/internship that i have to do before i can officially graduate.
when i do graduate, ill have a bachelor of applied communications- major in electronic publishing- which is like visual communications/graphic design. i can do alot with it and we're trained to do alot, but finding a job right now is hard and there isnt much available at the moment... but i'm sure ill find something eventually.
i did really like it all 4 years of school, though. im definitely a creative person and it always kept me on my toes... and i learned quite a bit outside of just design, such as multiple business-y classes, a writing/editing class, a law class, and then a handful of arts and science classes.
i think - ultimately - what i want to do once i save some money up is just start my own business up and market myself and get my own clients. i definitely think i have more of the personality to be a freelance designer rather than do some boring kind of graphic design work for a company i probably will have no interest in. that being said, if the freelance thing doesnt work, id like to work for a magazine or something in the art department... preferably a fashion magazine. weird, big dreams, i know, but i think its possible. somebodys gotta do it and i'm positive i could when i get a little more experience under my belt....
that little red caboose just starts to work that old smoke stack...
