Where am I Going?

After the first year on the course I have, in my opinion, achieved so
much. I am looking forward to the second year's adventure. My aims for
the second year are to continue on the same steep learning curve and
improve my skills to a professional level.

I am still quite undecided as to which part of the industry I wish to
enter into. As I have stated in previous journal entries I started the
first year expecting it to be solely web design. I thoroughly enjoyed
the print related assignments, which have made me question which
specialist area I would like to enter into. I think I will have a more
accurate answer to this question as the year progresses.

I want to come out of education feeling confident enough to be able to
walk into any post, which may arise. I don't think I will be at that
stage by the end of this year. I would like to continue to a top up
degree at the end of this course.

I, so far have enjoyed the way the HND has been run and would like to
progress onto a top-up at Wakefield, if it was available at the time.
What I am certain about is my determination to top up to a degree.

Even if it was just to fulfill my own personal goal to be accredited
with a degree I think it would be worth it. I feel there is no
replacement for formal education.

After any relevant top up I would like to do a business or marketing
related course, as I still have the ultimate ambition to become self
employed, either on my own or in a partnership. I think a business or
marketing course will help me understand where I should go afterwards.
