Once a upon a there was a little Asian guy named Tony; who loved to be on the computer and play video games all day. He played all sorts of games on different sites; along with knowing variety of programs and software for his computer. In this case a typical modern Asian. Many parents believe this is a useless waste of time and talent. However, on the other side to a

teenager, being technological advance is such a helpful talent now days.

Until one day his mom

continuously nagged at him, if he had chosen his career in life. It never accords to him that video games or being on the computer on the time was a career choice in life. He never put any thought

into it at all. Until he had to one day for a class project that was 50% of his grade. He took it seriously because he thought it could help him finally choose. It took him one whole month of constant thinking and sorting of talents and enjoyments.

Thinking over and over and narrowing down what are his talents and likes; while looking on the web. Then finally there, he found so many careers of his fields of interests. He thought to

himself “wow, there really are careers for nerds like me in this world.” And so his end result was to be a Website Designer.

Tony researched so much into being a website

designer farther then what his project needed. Being a website designer may look fun but it needs a lot of experience and hard work to become one. He had to research the pros and cons of what this job entails like:

Pros: what he is interested in (art, gaming, and programming)

Starting wage for year is $50,000 w/ tax

This job is highly needed in the work force (stable)

Allows to work with the time you have (time

manageable) Cons: working50 + hours a week (time

consuming) Needs a BA in Arts or Masters = A lot of school

Schools are mostly institutes or technical schools

Doing a lot of projects for clients at one time

This is what he came up with when describing his future career. A specializes in designing art, forums, and other categories for a website. They were first introduced into the business world; until the internet came known to the world. Major production companies and other businesses are in need for these specialists for marketing their products. This career is a new type of graphic designer and typesetter; using majority of the World Wide Web and the computer. They are required to have numerous computer skills

like: HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), ADOBE Dreamweaver, and Illustrator; along with other programs and technical art skills.

He was so dedicated to his career that he switched his electives from medical to graphic design and multimedia design. There his teachers explained more and more about the career that he wanted and the training that he needed for that field. His majors that lead to that field were:

Game Design

Digital Communications and Media/Multimedia

Animation and Special Effects Computer Graphic Graphic Design Illustration Web Design Printmaking

Needing to have minimum of an Associate’s degree to the highest be more looked at is a Masters.

Thinking towards his future, the job he wants so badly, would become a mere hobby. With him making $50,000+ a year, it would be a very good thing in supporting his future family. Even though its long hours, he could still manage his time to spend it with them. Having to do

what he wants to do and making as much as the job he didn’t want was such a good choice in his life. It would take him a while but because he is so determine he will get there and live the life he always wanted with no regrets.
