At one point I considered electrical engineering because of my curiosity about the science behind technology and how it can help people. I wish I’d job shadowed pros in the careers I was interested the summer I graduated high school. At the time, I felt pressured into choosing a career quickly. I once told one of my parents I had doubts about art as a career, as I wanted to be an animator, storyboard, or character artist. Having graduated from community college, I’ve become wiser. Even though I wasn’t good enough at math, and that played into my reluctance to switch majors form the arts to engineering. At this point, I’m hoping to get my bachelors in graphic design at snhu and at least get a good graphic design job. As I tried design tech before, and for many reasons, the class to get the certificate just didn’t work out.
