categories were salary, hours, educational requirements, passion, benefits, flexibility, location
and job outlook. Categories that meant the most to me were salary and education requirements;
because those are the two deciding factors in my career choice. Though some consider passion
important; I feel is it needed, not mandatory. This idea is present in my matrix. I feel that
categories such as passion and location are not that important because I am willing to move
anywhere, and I could learn to love a job as many do. Pediatric Neurosurgery scored the highest
because this job paid the most, and offered medium educational requirements, and offered the
most …show more content…
I unsurprisingly got the results I hoped for. I have already looked into the
specifics of this career before, and the other two were backup careers. The data and research
show that a Pediatric Neurosurgeon is the best career for me. The graph explains my criteria
the weight of the chosen careers. It precisely shows the personal importance of each category, in
context to my matrix.
Pediatric Neurosurgeon treat children’s “problems involving the head, spine, or nervous
system” (AAP). Ethical issues are very prominent in pediatric surgery. “Pediatric surgeons are
often confronted with clinical situations that involve decisions about the continuation of life-
sustaining treatments for infants and children with critical illness”(BCN, DAC). The critical
situations need to be resolved in quick decisions that could impact a young child's life forever.
This issues regarding ethics and emerging technologies have the ability to change the world;
good or bad. And it is up to people to decide which. An individual in this career field should
keep up to date on new information, study the basics, and learn all diseases, conditions, …show more content…
Emerging technology in this field comes out fairly frequently.
“Emerging technologies, such as nanotechnology, wearable electronics, brain-computer
interfaces, 3D printing, and others benefit from multidisciplinary approaches and cross-fertilization
among disciplines”(WF). Many of these technologies, impact countless parts of our
lives, which can enhance our quality of living. Brain-computer interfaces ” the possibility to
interact with computers through thought alone – in the field of cybersecurity as hackers could
easily find ways to use sensitive and critical data, hijack systems or manipulate devices”(WF).
The benefits include making their jobs easier and increasing their ability to problem solve, thus
making them more useful. When adding such a life-changing technology such as less one it comes
with cons. The limitations of the system include easy access to systems increases the
likelihood of being hacked. Also, there is more need for stronger security if systems like
