Action Plan Reflection

Improved Essays
On the 2nd day of class when we did the decision-making continuum I fell into the no idea category. When we did this activity I felt nervous since I realized that I really had no idea as to what I wanted to major in, but once we started filling out our goal sheets I felt confident that this class would help me greatly in choosing a major which it did. This class has taught me that some of my beliefs about choosing a career or major were myths. I use to think that whatever you majored in would be what you do for the rest of your life. When that is not the case just because you major in something doesn’t mean you will be doing that for the rest of your life. Many majors are flexible meaning you can do many different things with it. Also I use …show more content…
Also I am a procrastinator, which may be a potential obstacle as well. To overcome math I will utilize the tutoring center when I need assistance. As for my procrastination I will start completing my assignments way before they are due.

Action Plan
For my action plan I will start taking pre business courses next semester as well as sophomore year. So I will be taking business classes, which will help make me more informed about the subject. I will also join the international business club to gain more information about the subject to make sure I am making the right decision. Since both my mom, and dad work in business fields I also have the opportunity to ask them questions and even shadow them to see what its like to work in a business field. These are some actions that I am going to take to make sure that I am confident in my career decision.
Overall Career Exploration has helped me a lot in making a decision. I would not have done the amount of research that I did on majors if it weren’t for this class. I can finally say that I have a strong idea of what I want to do, and I feel confident going into a business major. Not only have I made a smart goal but I also have an action plan that I am already starting. I feel very good about my decision thanks to this

    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…

    I will now be a sophomore and I still have no clue on the degree path I want to follow. I feel that to make that decision in choosing a major, I need exposure to different career paths and job options because im interested in so many things, but this is because im not completely familiar with all these major options. Which the textbook perfectly outlines “entering students have only a vague idea of what a major entails” (?????). So entering undecided was the option for me. Having too many interest is exactly why I am still undecided…

    Activity 3.2 One of the biggest challenges that I am facing at the moment is finding the right major for me. Declaring a major has a lot of benefits, for example I would only need to take the classes I need for my major which would save me time and money. As well I could start to apply to internship programs to help launch my career and future. I could also look for a good school with the right masters’ program in my field so I can work on the requirements they need for me to attend ones I graduate. Overall the worst case scenario that I see from not picking a major on time is being hold back ones I reach 45 units, this would waste time something I don’t really feel like I have a lot of.…

    I have opted to enter college “undecided”. I have done so in order to prevent myself from switching majors multiple times once enrolled as so many others have been known to do. Rather, I plan to complete my prerequisite courses during my freshman and into my sophomore year. Then, once I’ve had the opportunity to speak with others in the career trajectories of my interests (anatomy/physiology, anthropology, medical technology), I’ll make a decision on the additional courses I will need to take toward my decided major. Once I have a degree in my desired field, I hope to get a job directly out of college in order to begin paying off the student loans that I accumulate.…

    A unique aspect of Cornell’s college of A&S that captivated me was the opportunity given to students to explore the different interests they may have.

    On average, college students change their major at least three times over the course of their college career” (Ramos). By taking these classes, you are able to see what careers suits you and what you like. If high schools add these classes instead of classes students don’t really like nor need, they can see their career felid they want to get into and get started on classes they would have to take in college and if they don’t like it they can change their mind on the career path they wanted then not like it and change it and wasting $1,000 of dollars on classes in college.

    My first few weeks attending Johnson County Community College I had horrible perceptions about the place. I perceived everyone who was not at a four-year school, tailgating at football games and studying to become a doctor or lawyer was a failure. However, the weeks turned into months and my mind slowly changed. My outlook on education and finding a career transformed.…

    Growing up I have always dreamed of starting my business and managing every detail in it, I started studying the most famous businesses and what the imperfections in these businesses are, just to make sure that in the future if I do start my business, I do not make these mistakes. Starting a small business can be easy, but I always think through on how I can make it big and successful. The reasons I wish to study business administration is that I believe that if I graduate with this degree, I can become qualified to work in many business fields such as finance, accounting, and other aspects of the "money business". Most of my family members are currently working on their businesses ( banks, boutiques, restaurants, etc...), this encourages…

    but it was actually really challenging. The most rewarding was finding my interests and that made me pick a major very easy after I found out what I wanted to do according to my interests. My questions that came out from my self-exploration were; what if marketing doesn’t work out as a major? What other majors involve selling? Could I double major in something that benefits me down the road?…
