Comparing The Three Careers

From that moment on, I viewed education and begin always ready to learn as the key to success. My curiosity and my need to know the answers to questions concerning why things are the way they are inspired me to develop an interest in psychology and that lead to my current dream of becoming a psychiatrist. I don't have a set in stone plan, but it starts with going to the University of California, San Diego next fall semester to earn a bachelor degree and probably participate in a study abroad program. I will take my general education courses as well as taking courses to meet medical school requirements. During that time frame, I will volunteer in a hospital or a clinic to gain hands-on experiences. After attaining my bachelor degrees, I will be working on pursuing a medical degree. Form then on, I see what else I need to do to attain that job and complete those steps.

There are some positives and negatives for a career in psychiatry. One positive is that the psychiatrist is able to prescribe medicine, meaning the salary for the job is higher than most. Another positive is that the psychiatrist is able to schedule their own hours, and make their own timetables. One negative is that in order to prescribe the medicine, someone who wants to be a psychiatrist needs to go to medical school, which costs a lot of time and money. Another negative is that many people are interested in the field of psychology, meaning there will be less jobs out of college. Psychiatrists go through a set daily routine, with few wavering moments in that schedule. Through this fixed routine, the psychiatrist is able to form solid bonds with their patients through, usually weekly, talks with these patients. Psychiatrists use brain scans, genetics and psycho-pharmacology to diagnose and treat mental illnesses and cognitive disorders. Between talking to their patients, and using the tests and scans, psychiatrists are able to accurately diagnose and treat most types of mental illnesses and cognitive

My entire life I have always been on the search of a career that would fit my persona, fit who I truly am, and to become someone who will constantly have the ability to help people through their difficult problems that they face. Throughout my life I have been deemed the type of person that people felt comfortable coming to with their problems. Maybe people feel this way because they sense that I have a sympathetic ear? Well, all I can say is that human behavior has always seemed interesting to me and that is probably why I made the decision to go down the psychology career pathway.

Occupational therapy is the career that I have always been interested in because it is a career where I would be able to use my creativity when providing therapy to patients, work and connect with a diverse population, and be a leader. From volunteering and shadowing therapists, I have realized that there is no patient that is the same. Occupational therapists meet with many patients each day and each therapy session is customized for that specific individual. I like this because as an occupational therapist, you have to get to know the patient on a personal level and adapt as a professional to a treatment that will benefit each individual patient. This is a part of the profession that I would enjoy I would continue to learn everyday and I would be able to connect with people. I would be able to use my creativity to help individuals get better and

When I was young I wanted to become a teacher; however, that all changed throughout the years. What had motivated me to become a teacher was all the supplies they had like the whiteboards, the markers, and the construction paper. It seemed fun and interesting to me to have all the supplies. I no longer wish to become a teacher. As I grew older I realized that I wanted to do something that has me going to places, seeing new things, speaking with diverse individuals, and for that reason I chose to be involved in Real estate.

What motivated me the most to enter a helping profession was high school. All through high school I saw children being bullied, stressed out trying to be someone they were not, and pushed down for being slightly different. Counseling is a profession that allows people to listen

Often times choosing a career path that is compatible with a persons personality may not be as easy as one might believe it to be.

When it comes to my career of choice I am very alacritous. I am very excited and ready to start college so I can get my degree and start working. Psychology has always sparked my interest unlike anything else. I am always filled with so much joy when I know I have helped someone to the best of my ability to overcome a problem of theirs. That alone is enough to get my through the hardness of

Mental Health Counselor is the career I have decided to go for. It took me forever and a lot of thinking to decide exactly what I want to do with my life. I have dealt with depression, anxiety, self harming all within myself. I also dealt with watching my father abuse alcohol, and getting cancer and passing. My daughter is ADHD, ODD and suffers with anxiety. I also work in a group home taking care of mentally challenged people. Altogether I've dealt with a lot and I think experiencing everything I have, would make me understand and be a good mental health counselor.

Throughout history in the United States, we have multiplied the amount of individuals who are considering or participating in the fields: social work and/or counselor. These career fields are not always positive because individuals see situations that makes them cringe. However, there is a lot of rewarding aspects of these specific fields, each individuals learns how to help individuals with hard situations, help parents understand about why a child is acting a certain way, and help individuals who are seeking help for a various of reasons. Having a career you are passionate about should not matter if you are getting paid a million bucks to a dollar, it should be about the love and compassion you have to help a person in need.

A Psychologist has one main job which is to help many people with their mental illnesses. Such mental illnesses can affect how a person does daily things. Helping many people with mental illnesses will let them go back to doing things the way they want to do it, without the fear of birds, or the need to eat constantly. Freeing the people to live their own lives and not the disorders. I would like to pursue this career in the hope to help clients be themselves.

At the same time my mental illnesses were beginning to materialize. Once I realized something was wrong and had been officially diagnosed, I began to develop and intense interest in the human mind. Last semester I took a concurrent general psychology class. By the end of the first week, I knew that there was no other profession for me. After intense research and planning, I finally made the decision to major in psychiatry. This will allow me to work in a career field that will not only hold my interest, but will provide me with an atmosphere that will satisfy my need to help others.

Since graduating I have read about and researched more in-depth information about mental illness, addiction, and family counseling. This strong want to fill a role for people suffering mentally is why I am applying now. I would love to build a career around a topic that is so personal to me and my life.

At the hospital, there was a surgeon who looked at her records and charts, found nothing abnormal, so decided to ask her if she had ever been diagnosed with Lupus. It turned out that she did have lupus, and it only took a small blood test to determine; something all the other doctors my mother went to could have ordered easily. If my mother’s doctors had been more proactive instead of dismissing her as crazy, her stroke could have been avoided. That was the event that made me want to be a doctor, because I felt that if a patient felt so strongly about something, I would do everything in my power to ensure that they are truly okay. What caused me to want to become a psychiatrist was one of my friends from the fifth grade of elementary school. In the fifth grade, I had just moved to the area and did not know anyone, nor did I talk to anyone. Then, one day there was a new transfer student; a girl from Ghana, African, named Jasmine. Jasmine was bullied, a new student, like myself, and also did not have any friends, like myself again, so decided that it would not
