Holland Code (Continued)

For most of my life I have been most interested in working at my own pace, in the comfort of my home, with an end result that even I can’t anticipate. Based on this I always believed that I would go into the field of creative writing, or a similar one, where I could utilize my artistic abilities to create something great for the world. In continuing my search into different careers, though I have learned that there are many other possibilities of professions that may interest me when I enter the work force. Among the top two vocations that I am strongly considering are that of a Lawyer and a Graphic Designer. These jobs reflect my personality because I am very creative, good with others, and always strive to get the job done as well as I possibly can.
