Postgraduate education

order to have a foot in the door once I decide to become full time. Another thought that I have been considering is continuing my education by pursuing a Master of Social Work (MSW). There are several Universities that I have been considering. If I were to apply, I will apply to USC, UCLA and Cal State University Los Angeles. It is very possible for me to continue my education to get an MSW because there are different options available such as the…

Coming to college and choosing what you want to do for the rest of your life is very scary, but it is really rewarding and uplifting when you finally decide what you want to do. It is important to consider several factors while choosing what you would like to do. However, there are several other aspects that go into your college experience as well that would be helpful to think about including choosing a career, achieving success, undergraduate preparation, professional programs, and adjusting…

I began college with an idea that I enjoyed the physical and social sciences. After taking archaeology and geology, I fell in love with both and learned that I could combine the two disciplines in a variety of careers. Geology has such a wide range of topics and career concentrations and this drew me to the profession.

the sphere of undergraduate education and in the same vein, I knew next to nothing about graduate school. Before McNair I was never aware of what graduate school could offer me and the program, and the people it connected me with, became my greatest source of support as I made the journey into pursuing my doctorate.…

Bobby Weir graduated from a major state university in May of 2015 with a bachelor's degree in accounting.

During the fall of 2014, Weir interviewed with several large corporations as well as a number of public accounting…

At the moment I am focusing on finishing my Master of Science in psychology; for this I am studying full time. I anticipate (if all goes well) its completion in one year. Soon after that, I like to start a career in psychological research, strongly considering the federal government. Along with doing this, during my free time or vacations, I would like to offer motivational speeches to disadvantageous students and/or minorities populations. Once my youngest son is in high school I would like to…

Study hard, get a good job, and make money. This is the modern American dream and a set of principles that were enforced by my mother at a young age. It is easy to get distracted and choose a career path solely for the pay, I am guilty to have done so in the past. More specifically, I dabbled in the medical field, but realized that it did not align with my interests. Additionally, I am very squeamish and cannot stomach many of the tasks that medical school requires. I realize now that if you…

admission standards. For me, it is better to go to a graduate program that is hard to get in because it can be an indicator that I am the cream of the cream and if the schools easily accept people to join their program, maybe the quality of the graduate education is not that good. Furthermore, I also have to look up…
