Career Research

         Now that I have done a bit of career research I am finding new and different things about the amount of careers need people that do visual communications.  Every company has some type of advertising usually and included in that will be the design or layout of pages, websites, logos, graphs, etc.  It is broad in what the actual definition is for a job that a visual communications major can get.
       
          The information I have found has really helped me realize that having this important skill as my major will potentially help me find a job.  And although the ultimate goal would be to work at a magazine, I could look for a job in other companies and I am not tied down to just one specific type of company.  I do see myself enjoying a career in this field I believe. I have not ever taken a visual communications class so I am hoping to love it, because I love the idea of it.
        

Stressors

       Some of the stresses of college can be very hard to handle but now that we have been here for a long time, it is easier to handle the stresses.  Mostly the stresses that I am dealing with are focusing on homework, and how hard the homework actually is.  There are so many distractions when one is trying to do homework like when all the people on my hall are trying to make conversation with me or when other people are talking and are being loud.  Sometimes it is difficult to deal with but I have ear plugs or tell people that I have to do homework.
        Homework can be very hard sometimes but if I stick through or try and get help from someone I can do it.  Stresses can be a hardship for kids in college but if your try hard you can handle it.  I am doing the best I can with all the distractions and different things going on, and I am doing ok so far.
