MY PLAN: Travel/gap year Name: Kenyon Richards

My Plan A: My primary idea is to take a gap year to travel and work. During my

Consider:
❏ Upsides/downsides of job
❏ Job duties/ responsibilities
❏ Salary range
❏ Future outlook
❏ Lifestyle factors
❏ Advancement opportunities
For the jobs opportunities I'm looking at are online marketing, online
content creation or media creation.
 Upsides is that I could work on my own schedule so I could
do it alongside school or work. Downside is that the pay and
work load is very inconsistent but as a secondary income
stream that would be fine.
 The responsibility would be basically managing a business's
media or content production
 The salary is low for starting and depends on the business
but the more experience you get and connections the bigger
jobs you can get
 It is good to adapt as the time is flexible, it's just about if you
get your things done. Its also flexible if I travel as I want to
travel but also make money still.
 Advancement options can vary but with connections you can
go into higher management positions, bigger roles in the
company or even get editing gigs.
