There is a certain level of expected honesty that accompanies any kind of media which will be viewed by mass audiences. The creator must hold the honesty and understanding of both the viewers and the subjects in the highest regard. This will help to create ethically sound video/film.

I do not plan on pursuing another degree within this field, because it isn't necessary. Most people look for experience in the field over education.
Fiscal Responsibility/Needs
I often spend too much on miscellaneous expenses, and I also can have very sporadic spending habits. When I am trying to stay on a budget to save money for the future, I will need to regulate these expenses.
When starting my post-grad life, I will need to cut down on miscellaneous and unnecessary spending. Leisure and entertainment will have to be decreased heavily along with any other extraneous costs. This will help accommodate the shift in my cost of living.
It is hard to predict what I will be spending on leisure/entertainment for the month. Soon, I will have to create a cap for my entertainment budget. Currently, my budget accommodates for my lifestyle, so my post-grad budget should too with adjustments.

I will attempt to work on as many film sets in my free time that I can, both paid and unpaid. This will allow me to work with all kinds of different people and see how they work.
I will also attend regular conferences, events, and screenings to network with other creators and learn more about the current and future technology and craft of video production.

Mobile-Optimized Video
Companies are beginning to understand the importance of smartphone and social media-optimized videos. Accessibility to these videos is growing every year, with the audience getting wider. Social media video production is a new sector in the industry which is beginning to fully evolve.
If I did get another degree, I would pursue something in Film Production or Media Broadcasting. These require specific training and expertise that I have not gained at school so far.
I think that my personality type of ENFP works for my ideal job. Myers-Briggs says that I am compassionate, creative, adaptable, and I like a lot of freedom. A creative job needs all of these aspects, but especially any kind of video production. All aspects of video require intuition, creativity, and adaptability, specifically on set. These things lead to good problem solving. My personality type is also likable. Likability and adaptability can help in business and communication aspects of the job.
I value being able to do different things to break up my tasks and keep me fresh. I like being given a structured list of tasks, and I like to be told directly what needs to be done, but given the freedom to achieve it. Too little or too much freedom is not helpful to me. I value passion and fun in a job above all else.
