Artisanal Pickles in Brooklyn
Imaginative Career Plans
The theme of these pages has been what do you want to be doing in
the future? and what do you need to do now to make that
happen? I have heard some very imaginative answers to the first
question. Including: "I want to own an art gallery",
"I want to manage my own record label.", and "I want to own a pizza
place in Brooklyn."
Research Your Plans
Unfortunately I know nothing about most of these career choices.
However, the general advice still applies: you can research your
plans, you can meet people, and you can prepare while you're still in
school. This is true even if you are planning to make
artisanal
pickles.
Research may change your mind!
The results of this research may change your mind. For example, most
accounts of the restaurant industry report grueling hours and
financial difficulty. Searching the website
restaurants-for-sale.com
will let you see bars and restaurants for sale at modest prices. If
these businesses were very profitable and easy to operate, surely they
would not be available so cheaply. Maybe the research will lead you
to other career plans.
Research can change your major
Also, the research might lead you to the conclusion that majoring in
mathematics is not the best preparation for your planned career. This
too is progress: you can change your major to something more suitable!
