Monday, November 25, 2013 How to Use Your College Major for Career Success (Finding Career Bliss, Part 2)
Inevitably, some people will choose a college major that has nothing to do with the career they want. In my experience, finding career bliss has a lot to do with using your innate talents and skills. And that’s why it’s vital to choose a major because it’s viable—not just because it is interesting.
Everyone is different, and you have to go easy on yourself if your interests and goals change after you graduate. I spent a few years mentally beating myself up for getting that environmental degree, until I realized I could use it as part of my platform. Then I did, and then it was all worth it. No experience is ever worthless; you just have to figure out how to use it to your advantage when you finally figure out what field you do want to get into.

When someone says she’s going to college, the first thing most people ask is usually, “What’s your major?”
While
students have to have a major declared at some point during their
college career, they shouldn’t rush into picking a field without first
considering their natural abilities and skills.Here’s why: Young people get so consumed with picking a major. As they progress in their studies, they may find out they no longer want a career in their field. Or, like me, they may not come to that realization until after they graduate and need to pay off all the loans that made that degree possible.

You
know that you should be registering your copyrights with the U.S.
Copyright Office. Maybe you've tried and the legal jargon tripped you
up. Or maybe you've done it but weren't 100% sure that you prepared the
application correctly. Or maybe the 1990s website made you bonkers.
Fear
no more, this workshop specifically designed for photographers will
guide you step-by-step through the process and will help you in
preparing an application for submittal. We'll also talk about a couple
of tricks within the system available only to photographers.
The
workshop will also cover common pitfalls, breakdown the legal jargon,
and talk about simplifying your workflow to make registration a regular
occurrence.
During
the workshop we will walk through the application together. As we do
so, you can enter your personal information as we go along and at the
end of the workshop you'll only need to pay your application fee and
upload your work to have a batch of your photographs protected!
The workshop will be conducted online-only via Google Hangout so you must have access to this platform to participate.
Once
you register for the workshop, I will send you the PDF and a link to
the Google Event where the Hangout will occur. On the day of the event,
you will login via Google Hangout and click the "Join Hangout" button to
participate.
Space is limited to nine participants, to allow participants to have their individual questions and concerns answered.
If you have any questions, please contact me at kiffanie@stahlelaw.com.
