my future

throughout my BA art and design degree I hope to pass all for this year and next as do many of my peers within my class, however I then want to go on to a teaching degree as dose Scott and Louise is considering it however I am hoping not to go on to high school teaching but rather lecturing instead, this way I can work part time say 2 to 3 days a week and still continue with my personal practice.

From my personal practice I hope to go on to create my own business as dose Karen.  In order to do this I must clear with the housing agency permission to (A) convert attic in to studio or build 1 out the back door, and (B) permission to run a business from the house. Both of which must be raised with them in case of use of chemicals, which I do not plan to use but best to keep everything above board.

I hope to have permission to have this done before the end of January to mid-February, and then to have a space completed between the end of February and the middle of March. by the end summer 2013 I want to have approached the local business enterprise to understand the running of a business and will have my studio set up as a working business, and between getting the space sorted and the business set up I hope to have bought in enough equipment for it to be recognised as a simple printmaking studio. After that it is about self-promotion whilst still paying as much attention as possible to my studies. By the time it comes to getting a job my experience is enough that somebody will employ me.

Many in my class want to travel in the future where as I hope to emigrate by 2017 to New Zealand or Australia both of which I have family in which with my experience I am hoping gives me enough points for a visa. Before this time I need to find out about contents and business insurance and hopefully learn to drive.
