AITG Got Jacked
|
 After five years of slaving away for AITG I now find myself unself employed. AITG was recently bought by the largest award and recognition company in the world, Eighth Floor Promotions. They are a holding company that owns AwardCraft, Visions, Craftsman and now AITG. They are most likely going to scrap my award winning website and rebuild it with ASP and Flash (YUCK!!).
Working for AITG was an amazing experience. I learned more there than I ever thought imaginable. I got the job just out of high school with the class yearbook as my portfolio. I never imagined I would be designing 300 page catalogs and building award winning websites.
The most important skill gained from my time at AITG was learning webdev. I had always been intimidated by the web and for good reason, shit aint easy! AITGinc.com was the first website I ever built and winning the PPAI Web Award was a major boost of confidence and a moment I will never forget.
So the life plan got a little sidetracked. I was going to work at AITG until I was done with school and then start a business of my own. I am 2 semesters shy of finishing school so it wasn't too far off (who was I to expect the plan to go perfect!?). I am going to take 4 classes this summer and try to finish school up next semester. I have enough cash to get by for some time and I just want to focus on getting to the next phase of my life.
If I could do it over again I wouldn't change a thing. The only part I regret was the way it all came to an end. |
