The career I chose to research was Aerospace Engineering. One of the reasons I chose this career is because I have always been fascinated with NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and space in general. I have also been very interested in an engineering career for some time because of my knack towards math and science. This specific career interests me because it combines my interests in space and working with NASA with math and science that I have little trouble understanding. Aerospace Engineering is a very demanding job, but it is something I am very passionate about. Aerospace Engineering is the building of space craft and the adjustment of space craft technology to safely carry people and materials into space. People …show more content…

Aerospace engineering can be a menacing career for most people. These types of engineers plan the construction of aircraft, ballistic missiles, and other devices that are propelled from Earth. However, it is a very interesting profession. From developing missiles for the U.S. Army to making commercial airline components, it’s a very demanding job. As an aerospace engineer, you must meet strict deadlines and high standards. Personally, I want to be an aerospace engineer for two reasons: I like solving problems and I’ve always had an interest in aircraft. To be able to send an object off of the earth in such a capacity amazes me. It is important to know the education requirements, salary, and skill requirements for an aerospace engineer.
Money and fame do not motivate my goals. Engineering in all forms is a field of innovation and invention. Aspirations of any great engineer should be to introduce to the world a new idea, product, or service that will make people happier and the environment safer. Success in these challenges is a reward greater than any dollar amount or public recognition. Engineers bring societies to new levels of civilization through their advancements in technology and discovery. The challenge to provide people with ever-increasing standards while at the same time feeding the population with ideas of what could be attracts my imagination, intelligence, and curiosity far more than any other career option. The engineering field embraces these challenges.
Becoming an Airline Pilot If you have a love for the sky and aviation is one of your interests, you're not deterred from being in charge of at times more than 100 lives, and you have a soft spot for exploring the world, then becoming an airline pilot is for you. Airline pilots have one of the coolest, most exciting nerve-racking jobs out there. My goal for this paper is to explain all about how to become an airline pilot, what it takes to become one, the facts about the job, and some pros and cons of being in the field. My interest in flying was harbored as a child during vacations, my mother is a flight attendant, so we traveled often.
Flying thousands of feet up in the sky is a dream of many young children, but very few actually end up as a pilot when they grow up. Commercial airline pilots will always be needed, but many people do not even think about choosing this as a career. Pilots have extremely important jobs. They must fly people place to place with no problems while at the controls of thousands of pounds of metal and flammable fuel, not to mention the many passengers. A pilot’s job is very risky, but it is also very rewarding.
The path to becoming an aerospace engineer is a rigorous one,
Engineering has been a key interest of mine since childhood. While still in grade school I enjoyed listening to my father, an electrical engineer, teach me about advances in technology, and was always eager to hear more. I was introduced to my first computer at the age of five, and have loved interacting with them ever since. My decision to study engineering as a career was no surprise to those who knew me.
When I look at how mankind has evolved over years, it amazes me. My career goal is to become a mechanical engineer. I aspire to become skilled enough to create mechanics, which will improve people’s lives. I come from a very hardworking family. As the first son,a lot is expected from me to set good examples for my younger brothers.
The Career Exploration choice that appealed to me the most was the job of a Flight Attendant. I think that traveling the world would be very exciting and as a Flight Attendant I would have a chance to travel, meet lots of different people and experience different cultures around the world. Flight Attendants do not make a lot of money at first but I think it would be ok to work up to a higher salary, especially since Zarin said that the airline pays for your expenses. The idea of being a flight attendant is a little impossible for me. I don’t think I would enjoy the constant moving around or having to deal with people all the time. However, the idea of spending at least a few years of my life traveling the world as always appealed to me. I think having job security and arrangements would allow me a safe and structured way to experience different environments.
* Engineers must be able to work as part of a team. The ability to
A liking for science, and a passion towards technology enabled me to choose Earth Science as a profession. From a very younger age I became very passionate about the day to day marvels of science happened around this curiosity of mine eventually was discovered by my teachers and to have a better understanding on every day science I took science subjects in my O and A levels.
...lopment. Also, I just recently received my eagle scout rank. Becoming an eagle scout is a big deal on the way up the ranks your learn most of the basic problem solving and leadership skills required to become a mechanical engineer. I’m currently part of BPA or Business Professionals of America, competing in the computer modeling division. Though this program I recently received a award for being one of the top ten in the nation for computer modeling. To follow my dream of becoming a mechanical engineer, I plan on going to Michigan Technical University to receive a masters degree in mechanical engineering with a focus on manufacturing and industrial systems. With these current and future qualifications, I believe that in the future I will be a great mechanical engineer for fortune 500 companies, either in Minnesota or all over the world.
My career path started when I was five years old. At five years old I wanted to be a fireman but switched to marines when I was ten. Prior to turning thirteen I did not want to be someone who uses ‘math’ all day and sits at a desk all day. In 2010 I joined a FLL team at Troy Christian Junior High School. I did not want to do this at first but after consistent encouragement from my father and mother, my father has a master’s degree and my mother has a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, I participated in all of the team functions. While on the team I was exposed to SolidWorks and I appeared to have a talent for designing 3D models. I also was one of the few members tasked or voluntold to program the robot. I soon realized that not all engineers do math all day and I may have a talent for
Choosing a career is very important in a person’s life. Over the past two decades, many professions have change significantly with the influx of technological developments. One needs to think about the things that interest them and what kind of lifestyle they want to have. Some things a person should think about are what qualifications are needed, what type of training is necessary, and the future need of the career they choose. Some other things to consider would be how much money they will make, what is the probability of advancement, and does the career satisfy their need for an enjoyable life.
I know I will probably need to take advanced math and science classes. I am a more hands on type of person and it easier for me to understand. I like fixing things and working with my hands. This career interests me because when I was younger, I used to always try and fix things. Sometimes, my dad would start to fix his car and I would go out and try to help him because it was fun learning how the car worked and how he would fix it. The skills that I am already good at are math and science, which, are highly required when trying to become and engineer.
It has taken a very long time for me to decide on the path that I wanted to take for my career. I have almost always known that I wanted to be an engineer. I was always more interested in applying my knowledge to solve problems rather than just research and understand the world. However, I had little to no inkling as to which field of engineering I wanted to go in to. I had always been a dabbler, involving myself in a large variety of activities with the interest of learning about how stuff works. I started out learning how to use the tools in the shed outback, making pinewood derby cars and model rockets. I would help my dad with home improvement and repair projects around the house. As time went on, my ability learns and apply
