The career that I have chosen to pursue is Human Resources Management. When I started out on the path of “what I want to be when I grow up” I started in a completely different line of work. I wanted to be a Nurse when I graduated high school. I enrolled in college and I worked at a children’s hospital. After a while I started getting burned out by working long hours and on the weekend and I started to wonder if this was the right career that I wanted to continue with. I was offered a position at a staffing company that tailored to physicians and nurses and I

“I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile” (Walter Chrysler). Deciding on what one wants to be in life can prove to be a demanding task. There are so many, yet limited, different opportunities in the world to have an excellent career and make a decent living while doing something one loves. It is limited because there are only a few specific career paths that someone could take to make good money. It is very difficult to make a fulfilling living being a garbage man. There are many different opportunities because, within these specific careers, there are usually various paths to take. Someone who has dreams to be a

Student need to do what they love. Find something that they will want to study or risk never being successful because they’ll be bored with their job. College has a huge variety of programs that can be studied so chances are there is one out there for everyone. If students find something they love to do then college really won’t be too difficult and they will like their job afterwards. “Education is about finding out what form of work for you is closest to being play” (Edmundson), jobs should be something enjoyable, almost like having fun doing a hobby. People need to do what they love so they won’t be bored or held back by their lack of enthusiasm and excel to and move up in the workplace being more and more successful.

Way back when I first started college, my priorities were not clear. I knew I wanted to do something that I can be proud of, it was only a matter of what do I really want that will fill my life and complete me as a person. I was in the manufacturing field since I was 19 years old and yet, I felt a hole in my heart. I got to a point where I stop growing as an individual and it became apparent that I wanted to do something more significant. That void became the fuel to pursue something bigger and life changing. I tried to dig deep and really tried to figure out what I want in life and at the same time I started taking classes that can go towards any degree in the medical field. Taking care of people has always been a part of me. I took care of

The emergency lights light up the hallway as the ambulance pulls in, everybody's hearts are racing but composure is held, that bay door opens and the EMT’s rush in doing chest compressions while steering the stretcher with precision the patient is safely transferred to another bed, the CPR continues and another team takes over all with the intent to save this life. This is a brief description of the teamwork involved in emergency medicine. This is the typical thoughts one may have about an emergency situation, but what they don’t realize is all the teamwork involved in medicine in general. I chose to do my career investigation project on becoming a Physicians Assistant.

A Medical assistant is cross-trained to perform a variety of task in a medical office like, clinical and administration duties. However some skills that an MA do are being threaten due to advance technology. This is like an online doctor visit. It is not necessary to go to the doctor’s office if you have access to internet for some situations or to save money.

It is our responsibility as a medical assistant to do our job properly so that the patients won't complain. But, it is a different situation if the patients make a mistake and not us.

The older I get, the more I realize how important it is to choose the right career path for me. I’ll be graduating soon and I need to start researching different career paths and weighing my options. I'm the most interested in working in the medical field, I want to help people and learn more about the body itself and how it works. I want a job that gives good hours and pays well.

My professional experiences allowed me to appreciate other occupations, and learn how to adapt in a new environment by using the skills I acquired throughout my life. I worked in different professions such as retail, student life, business and hospitality.

But when it came down to it, what I look for in a job is different than what I enjoy doing in my free time. I’ve found that what I enjoy for leisure isn’t as pleasant when applied as a career. I no longer feel the enjoyment when it becomes something I rely on to make a living.
