Visual Work/Life Plan
You at Work
Work Ethic
My work ethic is achieved through measurement and planning. To-do lists, schedules, and habits keep inefficiency at bay. Since procrastination and scattered attention are natural phenomena, I address them by meeting my biological needs. Feeling low energy? Distracted by the thought of snacks? I must not be exercising, eating, and sleeping properly. I try not to take on responsibilities that put me out of balance in this way and I try to only accept projects that I have an interest in completing.
ENTJ Personality Type
Members of my personality type thrive in positions of leadership and with control of many aspects of a project. This is perfect for me because I feel the need to rationalize all actions that are being taken from a big picture view. If I do not understand why I’m doing a task or I see it as inefficient or ineffective, my motivation will be crushed. Since I want to work on a small team of independent contractors working quickly and efficiently with low overhead and a strong emphasis on project management, I think my personality type will be of great benefit to me in my professional life.
Code of Ethics
Since I try to establish the requirements of my work based on empirical observation of resulting data, a code of ethics is less relevant than it would be if I were to be working hourly or just as an elusive cog hiding in the corner of a gigantic machine. However, I resolve to always share my genuine thoughts truthfully and transparently in all client negotiations, and always come to a mutual understanding on all details of a project.
Valued Job Position Attributes
The attributes of a position which I value are those which help me perform at my best:
- Autonomy
I need to feel like I have voluntarily accepted the actions I am taking rather than I am being ordered to complete them. I need to decide upon the best course of action for me to take rather than being micromanaged through every step of a process.
- Direct impact
I do not thrive in convoluted environments where the chain of product delivery is so great that my work only accounts for 5% of the impact on the end user or customer. I want to see quickly and obviously that my efforts are positively affecting the lives o
f others.
- A clearly defined goal and plan
I want to work in an organization that knows what they do, how they do it, and why they do it. One in which the leaders have a sophisticated understanding of their impact and make every effort possible to achieve a well defined goal.

Post-Graduation Education
My post-graduation education about my industry will be primarily through experience, but I also intend to attend trade shows and remain in contact with industry leaders so that I am kept abreast of the most recent developments.

Anticipated Changes
Machine learning and artificial intelligence have the potential to take over templated and convention-driven user interface design roles, so professionals in this field will soon be pushed to challenge these conventions and invent new methods of human-computer interaction with the goal of delight and inspiration rather than just usability.
Additional Degree
Since qualification in my industry is determined more by experience and results than certification of knowledge, I am confident that I will not need an additional degree. I know that I am capable of educating myself on most subjects.
But if I did, I would pursue a degree in psychology in order to gain a more sophisticated and accurate understanding of the human mind to aid me in designing digital products for human use.
