Five Year Plan

Year One:
I will have completed the foundation part of my course and start the third year, where I will complete a three month industry-based work placement as part of the course requirements. Over the summer I will work for a high-street store to gain experience and put some money into savings.

Year Two:
I will have completed my Ba Fashion Design and Technology degree and I hope to have a 2:1 or higher. Begin to find a job suited to my interest in fashion design. Pass my driving test. I will also be looking at places to move into with my boyfriend. Go to America for some travelling.

Year Three:
Have started a job within a design studio, either designing, constructing or pattern cutting. Continue with my own designing and look at creating another mini-collection. Will get engaged to my boyfriend and start saving for the wedding.

Year Four:
Start looking at any higher positions within the company I'm working for, and if there is little room for growth then I'll look at other possible jobs where I may expand on my learning and experience. Plan wedding.

Year Five:
Get married, go on honeymoon, consider children. Look back at position in current job and access whether I need to try for a higher position or change jobs. Decide whether I'm enjoying the career path and if I want to try something different. Perhaps look at how I could start my own business in fashion design.
