Post #14 - Where Am I Headed? (Free Post)

Thus far, I have explored the marketing world more thoroughly by completing the prompted posts each week. Therefore, I thought for my free post this week I could explore in my mind the possibilities of what I could do once I have a marketing degree. I may not have been accepted into the Broad business school yet, so I certainly don't have the marketing education that I'll hopefully be able to obtain in a few years. However, I thought it might be interesting for me to start figuring out what I want to do with my life. This has been really difficult for me to think about, though, mainly because my interests lie all over the spectrum. Firstly, because I really enjoy fashion, I thought I could end up working for the business aspect of it. Maybe be a women's buyer of a major clothing company, settle down in NYC and call it a day. Who knows right? I can only dream. Or what about getting a journalism minor, if possible, and write for a column in Nylon or Vogue? But as I ask myself these questions, I am questioning if these are realistic careers for me. Then, I realize that only I can get myself to these destinations, so I know I'll have to work hard. Furthermore, my other passion includes music. My dream come true has always been to receive an internship at Rolling Stone magazine. Being in the business school might even help with this. If I were to be in the music industry in the future, I'd probably want to work for a record label. Lastly, I enjoy the advertising world as well. I have a huge thing for the entertainment industry, television and sales. So maybe my marketing degree could take me there. This free post may seem a bit all over the place to you, but I think that's pretty normal. Especially because this free-writing was meant for me to explore my options. One of my most previous posts about the documentary I watched called Objectified, had a lot to do with design, creating and manufacture. Since I really enjoyed that, I think that could be worth looking into as well. Although I have no clue where I'm headed, I'm happy that this blog has enabled me to further explore myself as a person.
