Rant 1/3: Developing Mission

Question:

What do I want my career to fulfill?


When gaining a career I will want my job to have certain general attributes. I want to work somewhere I am challenged on a regular basis, having new problems and solutions constantly, having to learn new skills, working on a team and being pushed to become a greater well-known asset.


In my future career, I hope to work with people that are passionate and respectful. People that would prefer to bring you up rather than tear you down and a team that exercises healthy relationships. In the same wavelength, I want to work for a company/institution that is not known for negative activity and is thoughtful towards its community


I want my career to not be just design based by based in people and art. I want to be satisfied with what I do. I want to create experiences for people to enrich their lives. Whether that is simple ambiance design or entire installations.


What is my career path so far and what are aspects I want to gain from those jobs?
