The center for all which WILL BE Steve

All things will be encompassed here

This page is your guide to the second half of the site: all pages concerning my outlook on the relevant future. Here you'll get an idea of my ambitions, dreams, and steps I'm taking to realize them. Browse these pages if you want a glimpse of what's on the horizon (and, well, since I'm so great and will one day rule the world, everything on the horizon will have to do with me; obviously).

Pages found in this section will include:

• Career Goals
• Education
• Projects & Skills
• Networking
• Companies & Internships
• Mentors
• Ideas & Questions
• Personal Mastery Plan
  

In the "Career Goals" page, you'll find documentation of my potential career goals, desires, possibilities, objectives, and how they will play into my overall life goals.

Following that page is the page marked, "Education". This will detail what pieces of paper denoting that I know crap (ahem, degrees) I have, what classes I'm taking, what I think of them, my class schedule, and future course considerations. So, for all you back in good ol' Buffalo and Canuckland who are wondering exactly what it is I'm doing at this ridiculously expensive school all the way out in Arizona, that will give you the breakdown.

The "Projects & Skills" page will keep you up-to-date on projects (either class-related orextra-curricular) I'm involved with, as well as skills or talents I have that I feel make me unique (and maybe even approaching valuable).

The "Networking" page is next, giving a description of groups I happen to belong to, conferences I have attended and will attend in the future, and any industry connections I manage to make with professionals and insiders.

The next page will be related to the "Networking" page, but the "Companies & Internships" page will be more specifically focused on companies I am interested in being a part of (instead of necessarily already having ties with). This page will include company profiles, site visits / reviews, potential / established contacts, as well as internship oppotunities and schedules.

"Mentors" is the page after that, and, as the name suggests, will keep track of people I feel I could greatly benefit and learn from -- industry leaders, advisers, helpers, etc. This will also, like my "Networking" page, keep a running history of communications with contacts.

Next comes the "Ideas & Questions" page. Most of you know that I was formerly a philosophy major for two years, so this page is likely to be quite full. It will most likely contain any ideas I might like to look into, and ethical, procedural, technical, etc. questions I have about issues and areas of the industry. These might be personal or business related. Also, this will probably be my dump page for "cool shit coming down the pipe" as mentioned on the front page -- present and futuristic stuff that I find really freaking cool, and want to research at some point down the line.

Lastly there is my "Personal Mastery Plan". This page is a record of a final project for one of my other classes, Professional Skills Development 102. It is a 1-year road map of where I would like to be 12 months from now (December 2007) and how I plan to get there. Its use will likely be an annual recurrence.

There you have it! Me, and Me to come, for your perusing pleasure! Happy browsing.
