Finding a career that is adequate for me in life can be a difficult challenge. Since I was a little my dream job was to continue the family business back home in Ohio. Many people choose their degrees because they do not know what they want. I am very sure that the degree that I have chosen is the right one for me, which is Business and Administration. I am now attending County Community College and I wish to end my Associate Degree here in two years. After I achieve my A.A. degree at County Community College, I want to transfer to University Of Central Florida to finish my Bachelors Degree. In this paper, I will discuss the overview of my selected four-year School, the university major requirements, the transfer preparations, the career I will pursue after graduation and the interview.

  • Career Exploration Reflection

    511 Words  | 2 Pages

    After completing the Focus 2 program I was offered the following summaries. I have a very strong self-assessment, likely because of my age and experience in the work force to date. My career exploration assessment scored in the middle which I think reflects that fact that I have worked in the same industry, doing the same job for the last twenty five years. I have not spent much time investigating new career paths up until last year. Lastly my career planning satisfaction score also come back in the middle indicating that I may be experiencing some problems with my career planning. I think this indication may have been a false reading. My academic strengths are mostly centered in the sciences. Business, engineering, and technology were all strongly mentioned. Areas that are not my strongest include traditional arts, performing arts, and languages/literature, although I excel in my native tongue. I have very little interest in most traditional arts, so this result is not very surprising.

    “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” said almost every parent on Earth .

Once believing that our parents were just being plain mean, but now it could be fully understood by us.

    I completed the run… subsequently, that smile turned to concern as our Chief laid face down 200m away. Frantically, I sprinted, he was unresponsive, and already exhausted I performed CPR; EMS arrived and he was defibrillated, revived, and was responsive. As a physician assistant in the Army my only job is to provide medical care to soldiers. The impetus for pursuing a career as a physician came through family tragedy. My grandmother died of an abdominal hemorrhage after she was started on two blood thinners. It was then; I determined that medicine was ultimately the career for me, armed with an idea of helping other families avoid preventable tragedies.

  • Choosing the Right Career Path for You

    725 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ever since civilization was capable of recording history, we were able to identify the type of job fields that existed throughout history. Not much has changed over the centuries; Ancient Greece consisted of farmers and fishermen just like we have today. According to the Bible, Jesus Christ was a carpenter by trade, he followed in the footsteps of his adoptive father. I believe a lot of people throughout history have aimed to follow the same line of work as their parents, because they respected their mother/father; parents have a big influence on our career choices. Unfortunately, many people eventually realized they earned their degrees/licenses in their chosen line of work without a meaningful purpose, other than to satisfy other's wishes. I believe some of us realize our dire career choices, because they lack vocation.

That information has enabled me to make the decision of choosing my area of study and career in the field of Information Technology.
