I came to the University of Arizona determined to major in pre-physiology but immediately switch to undecided on the first day of school since I was unsure of what to major in. Still remaining undecided I wish to major in something that I'm very passionate and excited to learn about even if the course work is very difficult. After college, I'm determined on going to pharmacy school to become a pharmacist. I'm currently taking the pre-requisites course to be able to apply. To make me decided on a specific major I probably would like classes similar to the pre-requisite classes for pharmacy admission since they're the type of material I would be tested on the Pharmacy College …show more content…
It has become even more difficult on choosing just one major since I have an interest in becoming an aerospace engineer. I have no idea what I truly want to study but willing to work hard on the steps I have to complete to make my decision at the end of the semester. In unit one, the decision-making model has a great foundation of everything to complete before the big decision I would decide on. It demonstrates in steps similar to a maze: "Taking stock, exploring self, exploring majors, exploring occupations, making decisions, and lastly implementing your decision". What I have gathered was to choose a college major I have, to be honest with myself and see what I'm truly passionate about. I value other people's advice but this decision is very important to me and I don't want to be pressured into a major I won't enjoy. "Exploring-self" in the decision- making model I have notice that I'm great at creating plans very quickly. I usually can handle very stressful situations and helping people in need as volunteering at shelters and animal shelters. The little aspects I have noticed in myself so far but I haven't figured what imp passionate about just

    From lawyer to engineer, accountant to computer programmer, I can see myself pursuing multiple careers, but I must eventually pick one. Even before this I am required to decide what college to go to in order to obtain the occupation I am most interested. Once I have chosen a college, a major will have to be chosen. Choosing a major will nearly be as difficult as deciding a career. Another question that challenges me is what I want to do when I select a career and what new tasks will arise?…

    As my senior year approached, I imagined it would be difficult to choose what I wanted to major in. Interestingly, this perplexing question was already a part of my everyday life- I simply needed to look closely enough. When this question arose, I was a junior who spent the vast majority of her time binge watching YouTube videos, and wasting time online. Regardless, I still let this decision stay in the back of my mind during my leisure time. I asked myself this question: “What is that one thing that you do all the time, that you cannot see your life without?”…

    To what extent to our concepts shape our conclusions? “Informed decision making comes from a long tradition of guessing and then blaming others for inadequate results.” Whilst Scott Adams maybe correct, there are many factors that play a role in not only the decisions you make but also the conclusions you arrive to. There are many different ways to process thinking, for example one can play by the rules or one can do what they feel is best for them, one can also do what is best for the greater good. This however does not come without fallacies, flaws and simply different paths of conclusion.…

    An uninformed strategy in dealing with the environment and sustainability issues can cause severe pecuniary loss on the reputation of a company. There are many well-known examples where sustainability have almost killed the existence of a company, the platform oil accident in Mexico by BP is a well-documented example (Ludeke-Freund & Zvezdov, 2013) (Hopkins, 2011). The significance of the social impact and environmental influence on the performance of a business must not be ignored any longer. Companies are now learning the lesson on the importance of informed decision making and they are looking at accounting as a central information system that can be used to address sustainability challenges (Zvezdov & Schaltegger, 2015b).…
