I really enjoyed this lesson. I currently teach Digital Media Classes and I have a strong interest in video production. I went to college to become a film director, and I ended up teaching after graduation. I love teaching part time and I would love to incorporate some independent filmmaking in my career endeavors as well. This lesson really inspired me to become more aware of this desire and start to network with professionals in the field for more opportunities.
The most important lesson I learned today was that you do not have to move up laterally on the career ladder. You can move up, down or side to side in your career. So my plan for this year is to continue to teach Digital Media, while seeking out more opportunities in hands-on video production.
