Oh Sh*t... What Now?

By: Craig Oldham

4.11

Format: 128 pages, Hardcover

So you've graduated. What now? Where do you live? Can you afford to live? How can you make money do…

"working is just education masquerading as professionalism"

-Craig Oldham, Oh Sh*t... What Now?

"The momentum present when you are a graduate is so powerful, and your learning curve so steep, that the confidence, talent, enthusiasm, individuality, skill and employability present at this time must be capitalized on; these are the attributes that employers are looking for. Breaking this momentum hinders much more than it helps. Your portfolio, if left unattended, becomes static, while your confidence, once battling with people your own age and often showing similar projects and responses to briefs, can take a big hit as the next year group steps up. And, above all – no matter how shallow it sounds – the reflection cast by a break in your career can be interpreted as a loss of love for what you do."

-Craig Oldham, Oh Sh*t... What Now?
