Tangential domains
Traditionally in this department, students look toward a select group of ID companies for jobs. BUT! There are a variety of opportunities outside of these obvious arenas - tangential domains (fields, or domains, for work that are closely aligned, or tangent, to ours.) Jon used a supply chain as an example of a high complex system that could provide constantly challenging (not boring!) and often highly lucrative design opportunities.Large companies and government are in Jon’s opinion one of the best ways to affect change. I totally get what he says…but I don’t like it. My experience working for large companies has been so ‘medium,’ and at some points just flat out bad, that the idea of it is uncomfortable. To use my favorite analogy, working with them and trying to do anything creative or different is like turning a battleship. BUT if you were hired to do that sort of high-level, expansive planning in the first place, maybe it would be different?!?
