Graduate School Career Goals

When it comes to the topic of attaining a college degree, most will readily agree that it is essential to securing a successful career post-graduation. Whereas some are convinced that a college degree does not guarantee entry into a career in one 's field of study nor does it determine success in one 's career, others maintain that a higher education is, in fact, the way to job security and financial success. What comes into question is whether the investment in a college education is truly worth it or not in order to accomplish a student 's goals of success. I think it could be said for most prospective college students that the reason for going to college is to gain the credentials required for most jobs today. What many of those potential students may not realize is the substantial percentage of graduates who do not acquire a job related to their majors, how much debt they will incur, and just how many students don 't graduate at all for reasons such as an overwhelming workload and a poor work/ life balance.

Looking into the future, I hope to achieve many things as a doctor. Research will not only help me stand out as a medical school applicant, but also determine if I have a true interest in research, something I hope to pursue as a doctor. In order to attend medical school, I will have to complete my education at TCU, take MCAT and prepare myself through other opportunities such as doctor observations and volunteer work. During medical school I hope to discover a specific interest that I can . After medical school and choosing a specialty, I hope to find a program that inspires me and pushes me to pursue further understand and research in that area that I can be excited about

My motivation for pursuing a degree is to be able to continue my education and finish at the collegiate level. The degree that I am pursuing will help me achieve my long-term professional and personal goals by giving me an advantage in regards to job hunting and networking. It will open doors for me based on the extensive curriculum and challenges I would have faced to attain my degree. The goals that I have set for myself can have the room to grow and prosper with the help of a degree. Without the degree that I am pursuing, I will be unable to reach my fullest potential possible for this time and part of my life. It is difficult to continue academically, professionally, and personally if I feel as though I am stuck in those areas currently having a limited education.

As a prospective Biology major and Veterinarian, I hope to gain experience working with plants and animals in the field of Biology and consider internships with veterinarians. I plan to put my experience and qualifications to use by applying for an accredited veterinary college. Upon acceptance, I will strive towards earning a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree (DVM). If I do not gain acceptance into a veterinary medicine program, then I will steer myself more towards the forensic science fields. A degree and certification in veterinary medicine is appealing and preferable to me. However, to keep my options open, the field of forensic science and crime scene investigations will serve as

In this personal statement I will address my plans and aspirations for completing a graduate education. I believe that an adequate college education is a necessity in today’s society. There are numerous resources and opportunities available to those who choose to seek a college education. I am committed to continuing my education to achieve my career goal of becoming a family nurse practitioner. Several members of my family are in the healthcare field, as both doctors and nurses. I have had the privilege of growing up observing and learning about the field from a private practice perspective. From this, I developed my interest in the healthcare field and decided that I wanted to become a part of the healthcare field. I want to be able to make a difference in the world and in people’s lives. I have often heard about there being a nursing shortage and the need for more practicing nurses and advance practicing nurses. After researching and evaluating the different roles and job opportunities in healthcare, I determined that nursing is the specific area that is the best fit for me. By pursing my career goal to become a family nurse practitioner, I could make a difference in the world and people’s lives as well as help fill the need for nurses.

My short-term career goals are to complete nursing school, pass the National Council Licensure Examination-Registered Nurse (NCLEX), and become a registered nurse. I start at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Nursing this fall; I am expected to graduate in the spring of 2018. I am interested in becoming a pediatric nurse at first. My long-term career goals would be to specialize in either pediatrics or neonatal nursing.

Throughout the course of my high school career I have many goals I would like to pursue. One of those goals includes being accepted into both a two and a four-year college so I can hold a Bachelors degree in Science. When I do get accepted into the two and four-year colleges, I plan on working while attending school. Although this goal may be challenging, depending on my classes, I’m going to need a job to support myself. My GPA in college will maintain a 3.7. My field of study will consist of a Radiology program as well as an Ultrasound program to become a Radiology tech/Ultrasound tech. These two fields will allow me a greater chance of finding a job, plus it will supply more yearly income. After college I will be using the knowledge I gained

My academic goal is to graduate Argosy University with a bachelors degree in Forensic Psychology in three years time. Forensic Psychology is the study of the criminal mind, in a nutshell. The main motivation to achieve this goal would be intrinsic. I love asking questions and knowing the answers as to why people do what they do, and in a criminals case, what led them to committing the crime. This goal, however, may have some extrinsic motivation as well. Being knowledgeable about certain behaviors that criminals poses may help solve or even prevent a crime. In addition, having a degree will help open different paths in life, ones that may present me with greater job opportunities. My attitude toward the learning process will help my achievement of each goal because I am eager, determined and motivated. My greatest desire is to succeed in life, and obtaining an education is one thing I know will help me. I perhaps will need to make some adjustments along my journey. I do not know yet if I will find another educational path that intrigues me the most. For now, I do not feel that any adjustments need to be made.

When I imagine my future, I envision attending George Washington University and taking advantage of its never-ending opportunities. My main goal is to receive a degree relating to environmental studies with an emphasis on public health. I intend on gaining the appropriate knowledge to travel the world to help improve the quality of life of others. GW offers both pathways which gives me the flexibility to explore what I feel most passionate about in order to determine how exactly I want to approach my career goals. After some research, I noticed GW puts great emphasis on study abroad programs which I would like to take full advantage. Being immersed in a completely different setting and culture will give me a greater sense of my surroundings.

My goal of graduating from graduate school can be altered by world population because if the world population increases that means that there will be more people applying to graduate school; most likely. If more people apply to graduate school, it will be harder for me to get in. The increase in the world population would slim my chances of going to graduate school, and could alter my goal. Family type could alter my goal of going to graduate school because if I wanted to start a family now I could. By starting a family, most of my time would be consumed by keeping up with housework, watching the children, cooking and cleaning the house. All of these chores would keep me from spending the appropriate amount of time studying, and focusing

My career goal after graduate school is to work in industry. Currently I wish to gain employment in either the aerospace or the defense industry. In these industries I would like to be employed as either a structural designer or as structural analysis engineer. Long term, I am developing myself to become employed as a senior engineer to help shape and lead the structural design team wherever I am employed. I think working in this field would be a very challenging but highly rewarding experience.

My career objectives are to advance my nursing career through professional development of self by engaging in long life learning through continuing education in graduate school. Also, to assume leadership role in the use of evidence based research in healthy public policy and contribute to population health. Nursing is a field that keeps unfolding and requires updated knowledge to provide quality care, meet the professional requirements and challenges. Hence, long life learning would increase my professional values and competencies required to deliver quality care to diverse population. As a Public Health Nurse, by pursing Masters in Nursing, I will be able to build on my capacity to enhance and advance the field of nursing as a science.

Career progression is the aim for most workers, but career development is not something most of us think regularly. But without proper understanding of what we want from our career and how we can achieve our goals quicker, we can quickly end up dissatisfied with our jobs.
