Graduation is about a month away and I still find myself changing my career goals almost daily. (I know, I know, every one goes through this) I have been thinking a lot about what goals I have set for myself and what I expect for myself in the future. Currently, my short-term career goal is to engulf myself in as many aspects of public relations and communications as possible. I am focusing my short-term goals mostly around the idea that if I dip my toes into as many areas of the media industry as possible, then I will be able to find a niche that I am passionate enough about to create long-term career goals around. Throughout my last two years of college I have set goals for myself to complete internships and shadow as many professionals as possible to learn as much as I can about the field I want to go into before fully entering the real world as a young professional. Improving my ability to network with professionals is also another short-term, and possibly long-term, goal I have for myself. For me, networking is a skill that I don’t think I can ever stop improving upon; especially in an industry where it is so crucial to simply know the right people. Graduate school is starting to present itself as a viable option for me to take. I do want to further my education as much as possible so I do plan to go school and get as much education as I can.
I am still trying to figure out which path is right for me but I’ve realized that there is no “right” path to take and as long as I am moving in the right direction I want to enjoy this journey of realization as much as possible.
