After having read chapter 3 from Andy Rutledge's evaluation I have some ideas for goals in my career. I'd like to start with a company / firm, however it happens I'd like it to happen. I may not necessarily want to move away, but if I really had to I would. The benefits of starting out at an agency far outweighs one covering for their own mistakes, and the experience gained will be far more beneficial than footing the bill on your own. Now that being said, I would like some side work, and some side projects that I could tinker with, even if it's personal websites, pictures, graphics ext. I would like this to be a foot hold into a personal, freelance kind of work. I'd like to build up skills not only with the designing aspect of the work, but the business side of things. The business side is a strong piece of the puzzle that a student is not normally exposed to during the learning experience and we need to know several things for a business savy. Beyond the agency part of my career I'd like to finish out doing some freelance stuff, being able to pick and choose my clients and projects that I undertake.
