Planning my professional future [prof. futures 2]

My mind is presently occupied with how best to spend my time after university, and perhaps not so much occupied with getting through the last month of university. I am squinting my eyes and pretending that it (university) is not there, because I am struggling to cope with the notion of another four three weeks of this. I am dreaming of making my own synthesisers and selling them for £300-£500 apiece, whilst also working a service job, unless I can find work that is slightly more invigorating. My professional future looks less like -SOMETHING- and more like -NO UNIVERSITY-. At the moment, university deadlines and their associated work are occluding my thoughts and actions, as if I were thinking through sludge or goop. As a result, I have no large or long term goals, except for this hazy optimism through the mist that life will be better without deadlines.

The ‘CV’ segment of things seems straightforward, although I am wondering exactly how to frame it – since my aspirations are not so linked to employment, per se, I am slightly adrift as to how to angle the whole thing. The appraisal seems relatively straightforward as I can look at synth retailers, synth manufacturors etc, I just hope I do not get penalised for not having a ‘typical’ set of post uni expectations. The lack of obvious employers makes me think that I might have to adjust my goals (at least the goals that I claim to have in my submissions) to appease the mark scheme and thus get a good grade.
