What do you want out of your career?
I had the privilege recently of working with a design class at Georgetown College. I did a few chats with the classroom over Skype, giving them a tour of the Matchstic house, talking about life after college and gave them a task to design a poster that would express what they want out of a job and career.
I was most impressed by the work of Abby Watkins. Below is Abby's poster as well as her description. Great work Abby! Your Matchstic shirt will be coming to you soon!
My poster symbolizes an idea that my father taught me. He said: "Find a job that you love so you don't have to work". This is the plan I have for my career and future business. The text inside my larger letters describes some specific ideas and requirements that I have for my job. My goal is to have a job in the graphic design field, which is expressed in words like “Photoshop" and "creativity." There are also less precise words like “travel”, “friendships”, and “flexibility”; which could be found in a variety of careers.
