GOOD is Great!

From the first line in their bio, to their portfolio examples, I am in love with the ideals and concepts that found this company. Coming into college, I knew that I didn't want to sit around filling prescriptions all day, every day. However, I wanted to help people. So, almost instinctively I chose a pre-pharmacy path. Three years later, I am a graphic design and strategic communications major. Since my abrupt change in majors, I have not only been looking for a way to utilize my education in a way that fulfills my deep desire to help others, but finding a career path that I will be able to put my journalism and design experience to use. All in one website, I have found all of this. I am not saying that I have decided this is where I want to work for the rest of my life, or even at all, it is simply a reassurance that I find most uplifting during an incredibly stressful week. GOOD's website is definitely now a permanent part of my bookmarks for me too keep an eye on and always keep in the back of my mind.
