My modified chart for young designers

1. Figure out what you like or love to do
2. Write your goals and a roadmap (5 year plan for how to get there with clear deadlines)
3. Don’t be distracted from job offers that aren’t getting you closer to that 5 year ultimate goal.

*Note: everything else in between will fall into place if you work your butt off, stay humble, and help others along the way.
