Hi Everybody!
My name is Jodi Dequis and this is my first official professional blog unlike that of Xanga as child. I am a senior at San Francisco State University and majoring in Marketing, but at the moment thinking about also majoring in Finance. I came to major in Marketing after taking a career planning course at Skyline Community College in San Bruno. At first I did not know what I wanted to major in, besides the medical field, because I just wanted to try everything: photography, culinary cooking, massage therapist, cosmetology, etc. Taking that career planning course helped me to figure out what I can be by taking those personality tests. It led me to the world of business.
Now that I knew I wanted to be in the business world, I needed a focus. This surprisingly did not take me long. While preparing for my second semester at Skyline, My mom pointed out to me how she liked the way I designed my binder cover. This was how I discovered I wanted to be in marketing but more into advertising. When things are given to me that I have to present it in an alluring way, I love to put it together. I didn't get the artistic genes in my family, but I just love putting things together in a kind of artsy way. There's just something about it that draws me to it.
Because I love fashion I hope that this degree can lead me somewhere in the fashion world. Although this can be tough with everything constantly changing in the the fashion world, I am thinking about also majoring in Finance which can reinforce my education and lead me somewhere I've never thought of before. I feel like it will be really helpful in the long-run.
Besides everything I have just said, one day I would love to travel to the many different places around the world; it's one of my biggest dreams. So far I have been to Spain, Paris, and the United Kingdom but spending three days in each country was not enough. I have also been to Canada and the Philippines.
I absolutely love taking personality tests. They can determine your strengths and weakness when searching for the best career field. Sounds great that you were able to discover what you enjoy doing in life. Is there a particular place you are currently looking forward to working in once you finish SFSU?
ReplyDeleteI have yet to figure it out. Honesly, I have no kind of work experience and I am trying to look for a job right now. But after I graduate, I am thinking of still going back to school and taking some fashion courses.
DeleteCreating art doesn't necessarily mean drawing or painting. Art can be putting things together, or coming up with a concept of how things should be, just like how you described about your binder. It sounds like you are open to many different paths that your life can take you, which is always good because then you can find which path is right for you.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds great to follow what interests you. You have found that your creative side can lead to a career in the business world. Also, you have alternatives and a variety of interests that you would be happy with. So you should be able to find a career you love, even if it takes some time
