While Kat and Jane are also both great examples of following their dreams, Sutton's career path really stands out. She starts out as a temporary fill-in, then pitches the creation of an assistant position, decides she actually wants to work in fashion, works as an assistant again, and is FINALLY promoted to "Sutton Brady-Hunter, Stylist" at Scarlet Magazine. Oh, and let's not forget that she could have taken a job in the marketing department earlier on for a much higher salary. In the end though, she ultimately chose her passions rather than money.
As a college student, I am often faced with this same dilemma. Do I go for the jobs that make more money to start out and then gradually try to transition into the field I want to be in? Do I start in the field I want to be in, knowing full well that it might just be impossible to get a high-paying job? These are all questions that I have on the regular.
Thank you yet again, The Bold Type, for accurately portraying modern-day struggles.
