I wanted
to use this free write to reflect on a few second thoughts maybe even regrets
that I have about my experience. I wouldn’t say that they are things that will
hinder my decisions in the future but I just wanted to write about them. So
here goes. Did I get the right degree? I study entrepreneurship but then I
asked myself is that my passion or do I enjoy being the entrepreneur. Maybe I
should have gotten a degree in Industrial Design and pursued those ideas of
things I wanted to create because with the advent of in-home 3D printers small
scale manufacturing is possible. You know that has been a thought I’ve had for
a while. My resolve is this. Finish my current journey, go to grad school, and
start my career. Industrial Design is my passion and the technology will only
get better with time. So when I have a job as a professor I will tap into my
tuition waiver and learn a new trade, after that who knows because I really
only want to learn design to compliment my hobby of restoring Mustangs (the car
by Ford).
Anthony, again, I understand what you're going through, it's so crazy to me that 3 years ago my career plan was entirely different. And even though most days I'm so excited about my future career I too find myself second-guessing if I chose the right path. You're not the only one, and at the end of the day what you've learned within your degree is knowledge that someone can't ever take away from you. I hope you find what you love and are passionate about and you are able to make a career out of it!
