I'm almost done with college. I finish in December, with a double-major in Communication and Sociology. I'm working at a marketing company now, but I'm not sure if I want to do that forever. I like graphic design and photography, and have held jobs in both fields in the past, but I have no formal art education and it seems like no one wants to talk to an artist w/out "credentials" of some sort. I'm interested in fashion, but reluctant to continue working in the industry. Part of me wants to stay in the marketing/advertising direction, while another part would rather aim for retail design or consumer research. I would also be interested in photography and photo editing, event planning, floristry, or branding. Yea, I know, I have a lot of things I'd like to try. Fortunately, I'll be looking for work in NYC so my options are hardly limited. Help me! Advice, anyone?
Where should I work when I graduate?
New York is probably the best place in the US to get your first job!
For your field, it's wide open! There are so many places who could use your talent!
First, contact your career counselor for options. Next, talk to people in your workplace who can give you advice! Most people are glad to help, so it will be very valuable for you!
Hit the job boards like a madman/woman! In spite of what many people say, I've gotten every job in my life via a job board or an ad in the paper!
Best of luck!!!!
