Summery of Project


Collection type/description:

The actual collection will consist of bissness cards from a vierity of different people. Each bissness card will have the persons perfession crossed out and replacing it will be the profession that the person whated to be as a child. Information will be colleted from the person that belongs to each bissness card. The information will consist of what thier profession is, what they wanted to be when they grew up, reason why they did or did not persue thier dream, and wether they are happy with thier dessision. After the information is collected, research will be done to find the difference in money between the current job and the dream job.


Collection Narrative/Context (Collection Backstory):

Every child has a crazy idea of what they want to be when they grow up wether it be fantasy or realality. If you ask some kids they may say a doctor, or they might say a superhero. Somewhere along the way the child grows up and either makes the dream come true, or they follow a different path. There are many reasons people change thier mind


Concept Explanation:

The collection is significant because many people have great potentail to follow thier dreams and they don’t due to money. They fear that if they follow thier dream they will won’t make enough money and that will cause them to be unhappy. After a while people realize that even when you making a lot of money, you may still not be happy. This means the person could have followed thier dream and been happy, but it may be too late. The outcome will prove that even though you change your mind because of money, you may have been happier making less money. Money doesn’t always mean happieness.

Process Work - Mind Map and Categories

For our project so far we created a mind map and categorization (stars and checks indicate the most liked). Our collection is called "What did you want to be when you grow up?", in which we contrast childhood dream jobs with what the children actually ended up with, and whether the individuals were happy or not. Along with our selection of categories and mind map, we practiced profiling our partner in class.
