In this exercise, I was supposed to research different types of opportunities relevant to my professional career. I should provide three examples for each class.
Postgraduate Study
The possible scenarios in my career can be divided into three options: Sound Design/ Audio Production, Music, Sound Art, or something not related to those mentioned.
