In the fall of 2015 I enrolled in a beginning computer science course at Cosumnes River College to explore the option of working in the computer industry. After a few weeks into the course I knew that this was the field I wanted to become a part of. After discussing my options with my professor, Dr. Markus Geissler, I began to research my options for a degree path that would allow me to use both my strengths and interests. I have the ability to learn quickly, have great people skills, and an overall can do attitude that allows for remarkable adaptation into different environments and when I discovered the options that follow a management information systems degree, I knew I had found the best degree path. Computer science and all of its’ related sub fields are ever growing and changing, I am looking to work in a field that is fit to grow as demands for technology change, as well as challenge me to improve with any and all changes.

Beginning my post-secondary education at Frostburg University, I was looking for an institution that would be able to satisfy my interests and hobbies. All throughout my educational career, I have always been interested in computer science, coding, and networking with different jobs in business and management. Living close to College Park, it was always an idea to attend a school that would be able to branch out to my interest. Coming out of high school, I was at a disadvantage— my time management skills were strong, but not where they should have been. I lacked the discipline needed to excel in computer science, but I was luckily set around the right people to guide me in the right direction. my close friends were able to introduced me to
Even after obtaining a degree, one should still expect to learn new things and to make the most out of experiences. I chose this article because it talks about a person’s experience after getting her degree. She talks about what one should not expect any major to be as easy as anyone says. She then goes into detail about her hardships of finding employment and what else she needed to do to acquire it. Then, she explains about her experience on the job and the connections she made to work her way up. Afterwards, she explains how it takes time, patience and effort in order to find success in your career.
My path to becoming a successful higher education administrator started similar to most individuals working in student services but took a dramatic turn which could have led me away from higher education forever. While working towards my undergraduate degree, I worked for residence services, a role that often leads to a career in higher education and created a natural path for me to explore. When it came time for me to decide on a master’s degree I viewed a degree in higher education as a given fallback option, the safe route should I not be able to figure out what I truly wanted. While I knew I enjoyed working with students, I did not fully understand why and knew this degree would grant me the time to figure out what I did want. I struggled to decide on a program so I applied to a higher education program and was not admitted. My “safe” route was gone and I was surprised because I felt as though I fit what a higher education profession was since I had the background and knew what others in higher education did. At the time what I did not realize is I did not have a passion for working with students and I have learned a passion for working with students is essential to making you a successful professional in higher education.

To help me become more marketable, I selected the computer application technology minor; with this minor I would receive updated information to foster my previous information technology knowledge. This knowledge has the additional benefit of being expandable if I choose to obtain a second degree in information technology, which at this time I do not feel is necessary. After I obtain a position as a member of HR, I plan to further develop my knowledge and worth by proceeding with obtaining a Masters in Business Administration, with this degree I plan launch myself further into higher management, and gaining more experience business practices and

For the topic of my presentation I have chosen to explain the benefits of a web-based program called MyPlan. Current students and those going through a career change can benefit from MyPlan. Primarily working with first and second year college students, we often observe the struggle they endure in deciding a career path and major to pursue. Oftentimes students speak to us about an interest in a certain degree area, but are uncertain of what career fields they could find with that particular degree. To assist with those questions MyPlan is a tool we provide to them.
