My goal after graduating college, is to start working for a modeling agency. I would like to provide public relations for a modeling agency or be a model scout. Most likely, I will began my career immediately after graduating college. Graduate school will not be a successful step for me, so the best option will be to begin my career. After, reading the assignment about graduate school, I have come to the conclusion that graduate school is not the best option for me. The first benefit, of immediately pursing my career, is the pay. Having been a college student for the last three years, the pay that I receive is barely enough to survive. It is exciting to know that I will make enough money to, at the very least, live comfortably. The second and
In life, no matter who you are, everyone strives to find a job that makes enough money. In addition, to also make you happy and to feel important. People that fail to do this often lose ambition and the confidence they need to succeed. There are multiple outlets to purse including college, a trades union or construction, and also the military. Unless you are able to get lucky, these are the three most common paths to take in life. Matthew Crawford is a perfect example of this, who is also the author of “The Case for Working with Your Hands.” Crawford got a prestigious degree but ultimately decided that he would be better off working in a motor cycle garage. He is proof that you can find success outside of college if you take the right direction. Anthony Depalma provided a great example in the artile he wrote called “Fifteen Years on the Bottom Rung.” Depalma tells the story of John Zannikos and his former employees where Zannikos came to this country and started a booming restaurant due to luck, not being smarter or craftier then the other immigrants. The other immigrants got left in the dust due to being stuck in a dead end job. Fast food though and other entry level jobs, is not a boulevard of dreams you can find achieve enough to find wealth and peace of mind.
Numerous of people accepted that going to a four-year school is an important for profession victory. The actuality is that numerous scholars are entering school after secondary school totally unassuming – scholastically, inwardly, and financially. The income is truly more then a person coming straight out of high school, which you are grossing about 10,000 to 15,000 more having a degree. More businesses are looking more for college students who has a degree because of the value that it holds having a professional education demonstrates the potential manage...
The “best option” cannot be argued in a general sense; it instead must be evaluated on a case by case basis. For example, from an economic standpoint that considers the constant increase in knowledge required to maintain a significant position in the economic hierarchy, the “best option” for a student immediately after high school graduation may be vocational training at a specialized institution.
After you graduate, the job hunt begins with hundreds of people competing for the same spot and you hope that your number one so you can get the job. If you're lucky enough to get the position, you have to work hard to adapt to the conditions of working, and do good enough to keep the job. Hopefully after a few years of hard work you meet a girl and marry and start a family, and your life goes on. Why? Why?
Many students are faced with decision once they are about to graduate from high school. That decision is, “Is a college degree really worth it and is going to college what’s best for me?”. Looking back when I was graduating high school this was a tough decision for me and one that I regret making. A lot of the time you are about to graduate high school and you don’t know what you are going to do with the rest of your life and that makes going to school that much harder of a choice.
My journey to higher education spans 24-years and combines two passions, teaching and EMS (emergency medical services). This journey began in 1986 with a suburban kindergarten class of 25 in Memphis, TN. Eleven years later no longer am I teaching school-age children; instead, I am delivering training programs to EMS providers as well as the medical community. Today, I combine both passions to offer students authentic experiences through which to obtain proficient skills in written and oral communications, critical and analytical thinking, problem solving, as well as in negotiation and conflict resolution skills as they prepare for rewarding
The stereotypical version of the normal life of a teenager proceeding to college would include high academic standards met throughout their high school career and outstanding outside testing scores resulting in automatic entry into the institution of their choice. Many of these individuals have the support of their accomplished family members in the form of financial support. There are those who have not had the luxuries of any easy upbringing but forced to decide between a life with a college degree or full-time employment. For myself I want to have it all and to achieve that I have taken on both.
that I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field but I was not sure
It's hard for me to say where I'll be in the years to come, already my life has strayed from the path I once thought it would follow. However, that doesn't change my motivation or determination to reach and excel at my personal goals. My whole life I've endured a system that dictated what should be important to me, and while it's helped me learn the practical skills I need outside of an academic setting, I have a passion to grow further from what's expected of me, and so with much enthusiasm I look forward to attending college in which I hope to achieve more by constantly learning and expanding my personal knowledge.
Educational Goals: Education is extremely important part of my past, present, and future goals. I currently hold an Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design Media. I have found that an A.A.S Degree does not go as far al I originally intended in the Rochester, MN area and furthering my education will be a necessity for my future career goals. Over the past 2 years I have been working on my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the Minnesota School of Business Rochester campus. I am currently a senior with 3 quarters left before a spring graduation. After a June graduation, I plan on taking a summer quarter break. After summer break I will either continue on at MSB for my Masters in Business Administration with a Minor in Marketing or transferring the University of Minnesota for my Masters in Adult Education. After my Masters Degree is complete I will decide at that time if I wish to continue on and achieve my Ph.D.
Something that I have always been extremely passionate about is sports. My freshman and sophomore year of highschool I played four varsity sports, volleyball, basketball, golf, and softball. After my sophomore I decided to get a job as a lifeguard and work full time in the summer rather than continuing my softball career. For the remaining of high school I continued to play volleyball, basketball, and golf, all of which I love. Without athletics I am not positive I would be the student I am today, sports keep me healthy and on top of my grades and schoolwork.
...new classes, I soon realized what would be the biggest challenge of college: deciding on a major. Yes, I am one of those people who started college without first declaring a major. I soon heard every question, suggestion, and response regarding possible options. I even began concocting false majors to throw some people off. Large-Scale Demolition was a crowd favorite.
...e in the long run. It 's good to do what you love, and continuing to get s higher education doesn 't necessary mean stop doing what you love, but to look further into it and do something with it.
The first point to address is the job market complaints. Sometimes we do not realize that there are many economic factors that prevent us from getting a job. In 2012, Bureau of Labor Statistics carried out a report taking in mind Americans under 30 who had graduated from college in 2011. Although the paper did not clarify between full time and part-time workers, around 73 percent did have a job and more than 11 percent were still trying to find one. According to a study released by the Department of Education in 1994, 87 percent of university graduated students had a job, either full or part-time. Another 8.4 percent had returned to school so basically they were out of the job market altogether. And the rest percentage was fully unemployed. Without a doubt, this is a clear fact that graduate students had better opportunities and m...
One of my biggest accomplishments thus far in college has been the semester I found balance in doing things I love. I was only taking two classes at my college, but I was also working at the boys and girls club, participating in a club on campus, mentoring two high school girls, and volunteering at my church multiple days a week. I was forced to manage my time and find a balance of taking care of myself while maintaining college, work, and caring for others. To some this may not be a big deal, but to me it was huge. In order to do this, I learned to use my planner every day. I wrote down everything I had to do and every place I needed to be. Using my planner helped me a ton, but it wasn't what ultimately provided me with the balance I needed to handle my busy schedule.
