I didn't realize that playing and teaching these young adolescent minds would soon be the major I would be studying. I’ve chosen lots of areas to study throughout high school, but I’ve always kept changing my mind. For example, I’ve gone from wanting to be a marine biologist all the way from wanting to be an entrepreneur. I never could figure out what my heart…
Wright Session 1 Journal INT-201A For many years I floundered as to what career I should pursue. The aspirations of becoming a marine biologist or an English teacher that I had held previously were no longer in line with my interests or desires. I wanted to write and work with books. One night I had the privilege of speaking with the owner of a local publishing company who was in need of an intern editor.…
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?…
Active Listening Assignment A friend came to me with concern over her future career options. She expressed her want of many different career fields that she wished to pursue. This was problematic because if she tried to pursue all of her interests, she would need to attend school for about 8 years and be buried in student debt. Although she knew that she would be unable to pursue all of her possible career paths, she wasn’t sure which she wanted to follow and didn’t want to make the wrong choice.…
The biggest obstacle in my way of picking my major, is that…
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?”…
Growing up I never had a clear idea of what I wanted to do as a profession. No inclination of something that amazed me or pushed me toward it. I eventually chose what I thought would be a good stable career simply because it would be a financially good choice but it never seemed like something I could stick with or love. I discounted anything from the medical field because everyone was going there and I didn't want to be a lost number of people rushing to the same career, I wanted to be a little different.…
Ever since I was in middle school, I could only imagine myself becoming an orthodontist. One of the many reasons I decided to pursue this career is because I had braces when I was younger and I admired the workers at my dentist clinic. Whenever I had a dentist’s appointment, I was fascinated by how somebody has the opportunity to align a person’s smile and be able to give them confidence. Additionally, I managed to ask my dentist several questions I thought were necessary to know in order for me to expand my knowledge on what it was I had to do in order to become an orthodontist. By asking questions, I was able to learn that I had to attend a four year college institution and then apply to dental school where I can intern, obtain my residency…
When asked to write about what I wanted my future profession to be, my mind went to a blank. I first asked myself a series of questions: what interests me? How many years of college do I want to go through? What quality of life do I want? What could I see myself doing for the rest of my life?…
As a student approaching adulthood, I am commonly asked what I want to major in, where I want to live, and what career path I wish to take. The truth is, I have no fathomable idea of what I will be doing five or ten years from now. I don’t have the slightest clue of who I want to become. This does not scare me, because I know my potential. I refuse to be content with anything less than my dreams, whatever those may be.…
Vocational Analysis Many people go to college with a job or career in mind as their end goal. Others go to college in hopes of figuring out where they best fit. When I first enrolled in college, I was very sure about what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.…
Career Field Report: Dental Hygienist I always thought that I wanted to be a physical therapist just because after a knee injury I had to endure it for so long that it caught my interest. I wasn’t until after getting a tour of a campus and seeing their dental hygiene program that I knew PT wasn’t what I wanted to do anymore. Seeing all of that cool hands on experience you get to do and also seeing the exponential increase in pay my mind changed quickly. After that visit I changed my major to dental hygiene. It was only one time that I watched a hygienist clean teeth when I knew that is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.…
My part of the project discusses choosing a major and finding a career and it’s great to find a source that discusses choosing a major because you love it, not because you want a “successful well-off” career. So I believe that this article will provide a different perspective to my project. (206…
Finding the perfect career was very stressful. I remember how embarrassing it was when someone would ask me, what I was majoring in and all I could say was that I did not know yet. My counselor always told me that in order to find the right career, I had to figure out what I was good at, as well as, what I loved to do. For me that was more difficult because I love to do so many things. For example, I love to dance, do sports and care for others.…
Ever since I was a little kid, I have always been a highly motivated individual. Striving for perfection has never been a foreign concept to me. Unfortunately, being a perfectionist has created some issues within my academic career. With time being a restraint on multiple tests, I have left a plentiful amount of answers blank trying to make sure every detail is correct. Despite this, I have still maintained high A’s in every one of my classes.…
