One of the most important decisions that any high school student or young adult has to make is deciding what they want to spend the rest of their life doing. Coming into this year I didn't have a clue what I wanted to have as my career. Obviously everybody has their dream job, mine being a pro basketball player overseas, but everybody needs a backup plan if their dreams do not pan out. Recently, I started researching certain careers and taking tests ,such as the WISCareers interest inventory, to decide what career would fit my interests the best. After all the tests and research, I came to the conclusion that becoming a loan officer was what suited me and my interests the best("WISCareers")."Loan officers evaluate, authorize, or recommend approval of loan applications for people and businesses"("Bureau of Labor Statistics"). Being a loan officer is the perfect job for me because they have flexible hours, an above average salary, and a limited amount of schooling. To become a loan officer you have to meet certain educational requirements. Becoming a loan officer does not require a lot of schooling, but you do have to do some on the job training. One of the educational requirements for becoming a loan officer is a bachelor's degree in either business or finance. In order to be a loan officer you have to contain a few important qualities. You must have initiative, good decision-making skills and also have good interpersonal skills. When trying to become a loan officer, these skills are key("Bureau of Labor Statistics"). Loan officers have many important duties that they have to do while on the job. Loan officers contact potential loan applicants, both people and companies, and they ask them if they are in need of a loan. After ... ... middle of paper ... ...an officers also must deal with complaints from applicants and find ways to resolve them("Career Planner"). I believe the benefits of the career outweigh the risks. The flexibility of the hours in the job are a huge benefit. There is also a great income potential that comes with the job("WISCareers"). Being a loan officer is a career that interests me a lot. It interests me because it is an important job that involves many skills I possess. I also can not forget the pretty good pay that comes along with the job. I really enjoyed learning about this career and I hope my job in the future closely resembles a loan officer.

Focusing on pursuing a career you like is important because statistics show fifty-two percent of Americans are unhappy going to work every day because they chose a career they didn’t have an interest in. My ideal job is in the medical field because I’ve always had a passion in helping people. I want to specialize in nurse anesthesia because of the important role they have in society. Nurse anesthesia interests me because of the tasks they do, the advanced education path they must take, and the history behind the profession.
A wrong career choice an affect an individual for the rest of their life. It's important for the applicant to consider these factors when making a career
Real estate licensing varies in each state. I am giving the Florida guidelines because that is somewhere I could see myself living. These are all Florida licensing requirements. You have to be 18 years old and have a high school diploma, or the equivalent. You have to provide arrest and police history (“FAR-Education”). The state basically runs a background check on you. After you meet the education requirements, you can apply to take all the state real estate exams. To get your license in Florida, you have to complete 63 classroom hours of courses that are required for Florida Real Estate. Florida also has this thing called mutual recognition with 9...
When people are younger everyone always ask what do you want to be when you are older? Of course when it is children everyone is filled with wonder about their answer whether it’s a model, astronaut, race car driver, etc. Now that I’m older it’s expected for me to know exactly what to do with my life and how to do it. I realized very soon that I sometimes can be an indecisive person when it comes to life-long decisions. This being a huge decision in one’s life you could only imagine how many times I’ve changed my idea on what to go to school for. Although, changing my mind become a norm, I eventually decided a degree in business/marketing is the right path for me. What are my career and educational goals, what will my job would be like, and
Adamson, had us write letters to our future selves about what we wanted to do with our life after high school. The time capsule may have seemed pointless at the time, but opening the letter a few short weeks before high school graduation I saw that even my fifth grade self knew what she wanted to be when she grew up. In the letter, I wrote that I wanted to go to college then go on to dental school. Whenever I thought about what I wanted out of a career, I concluded that I wanted to never have to worry about paying the bills or putting food on the table. Money is one of the most commonly fought about topics in a marriage, and I do not want my career to jeopardize the most important relationship in my life.
Life goes on as well as we moving on, in order to live a happy life, money, passion, happiness and the meaning of it are essential keys. Among thousands of jobs and over billions of people, having a career or achieving a job is not only important but also competitive. Therefore, deciding what you are going to become has always been the toughest decision in life. I am not talking about Mozart, who was born to play and compose music, or Cristiano Ronaldo who decided to pursue for his career as a football player at the age of 14. I am talking about me and my just-found-out-career in a couple hours earlier, Nursing.
I always knew what my career goals were when I went into high school. Ever since I was little I wanted to become a professional boxer and also a police officer. I knew that these jobs had a great risk to injury. Even though I didn’t need to go through a full four years of college for my career goals, I wanted to get a business degree just in case I got hurt on the job and for when I retired from those job. The reason why I wanted these career goals was because I wouldn’t find my job entertaining sitting at a desk for the rest of my life. Since I find an interest in sports, I’ve decided to take the career path toward an industry that has something to do with sports and an industry that I always use for athletics. My career goal for joining
The first suggestion that Mrs. Johnson should consider would be her career choice factors through trade offs or career decisions. She needs to ask her some tough questions is this just a job for me or can I make a career out of my current job. According to our test a “job is an employment position only to earn money” (Kapoor,2014), however a career is a “commitment to a profession that requires continued training and offers a clear path for occupational growth” (Kapoor,2014). Since Mrs. Johnson still is in College she still can contemplate on her career choice. Bu...
When choosing an occupation, one has hundreds of different opportunities that are available. Throughout childhood, every person has had some form of a dream job they wanted to reach. Some people wanted to be astronauts, others firefighters, and yet some wanted to be police officers. The lifestyle that is portrayed of a police officer on the television looks glamourous and action packed, with high speed chases all the time and frequent doughnut stops. But this is not necessarily the reality of the situation.
Rising mostly through self-efficacy and outcome expectations, career-related interests foster educational and occupational choice goals (Bandura, 1997). Especially to the extent that they are clear, specific, strongly held, stated publicly, and supported by significant others, choice goals make it more likely that people will take actions to achieve their goals (Lent, Hackett, Brown, 1999). Their subsequent performance attainments provide valuable feedback that can strengthen or
Making a decision for the future can be hard, but it can be even harder when people are torn between their passions and meeting other’s expectations. In today’s generation, most students are expected to have their career chosen by the time they are out of High School. They are trained to plan and map out their entire lives. Yet, college students still end up having an undecided major by the time they start their freshman year in college. A huge issue that is present in today’s society is that college students chose their major for the wrong reasons. Parents pressure students to pursue careers in business, medicine, politics, and law; however, unless practiced with passion, those careers are pointless.

With all the independence and freedom that recent high school graduates possess, they should carefully ponder the possible options that exist. Through abiding by the “check the destination before the ticket is purchased” adage, high school graduates can competently guide their personal journeys in college life or the real world. Regardless of the path chosen, college students and those who immediately enter the workforce will ultimately decide their future destinations. In addition, while graduates pursue their dreams, goals must be set and diligently fostered. The necessity of a college and/or career game plan is crucial, and should not be disregarded. Before Dr. King ended his “I Have a Dream” speech he declared, “Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning.” Similarly, high school graduation is not a finish line, but a starting gun.
“But most people have multifaceted interests and abilities and could probably be successful and happy in several fields,” notes McCoy. Reasoning with options, interests, and abilities provides a wide range of career paths and prevents one from becoming limited to a simple passion or love desired career path. When one is reasonable with abilities and interests in different career options, it is easier to find a career especially in the economy of the United States today. Susanne Peckham states, “During the past couple of years, college graduates have faced a very challenging job market.”(Peckham.2011) This elaborates on McCoys questioning of the commencement speakers advice to students to ‘Do What You Love’ during such a “tough labor market” (McCoy.2013). Reasoning with one's interests and options leads to a well thought out career path that provides what one needs to make an
