It Took Me Three Semesters

Going into my freshman year at Liberty University, I knew I wanted to major in accounting. I understood that a BS in Accounting would set me up with many options in the business world to make up to six digits. However, I did not know exactly what I wanted to do with my degree. The FOCUS 2 Career Exploration Worksheet showed me many options that my degree would give me, along with the pay that goes with each. This helped me to narrow it

In the fall of 2012, I enrolled in North Hennepin Community College to pursue an Associate’s Degree in Accounting consequently awakening my thirst for learning. Majoring in accounting was an easy choice since I had a background in bookkeeping and I have always enjoyed working with numbers. My goal when I first enrolled in North Hennepin was to acquire an Associate’s Degree, and join the workforce, however, as I progressed closer to finishing my course there, I realized I wanted a Bachelors’ Degree since I enjoyed challenging myself and learning material that was critical to my career.

My life is a bit of a rollercoaster. I knew what I wanted to do since a young age; however, different paths and decisions brought me to my goal in a roundabout way. After high school I decided to take time off before going to college because I was fortunate

Throughout this year I don’t believe that I have really achieved much. I graduated from Charles F. Brush High School in Lyndhurst, Ohio, with a 2.8 GPA. Which is good because I am the first male with my name to graduate on time. I got a second job working at an Old Navy and I am a full time student at Kent State University. To me though my most recent accomplishment that I acknowledge is my decision to pursue a double major with I minor. After going through all the majors available at Kent State and taking an assessment for help, I’ve decided to commit to being a Business Management major with a minor in Marketing starting in spring 2017. For years I’ve known that I want to run my own business, more specifically start my own brand of clothing,

Me and my family moved to Wisconsin when I was nine years old since I was so young at the time I really didn't understand what the purpose of moving from California to Wisconsin was. It wasn't until later on when I was around the

At 17 years old, I had the grueling task of deciding how I wanted to spend 40 plus years of my life. I always aspired to land a career in the medical field, so I majored in biology like most pre-med hopefuls, but during my junior year, I no longer desired to become a physician. The medical field was calling out to me, but the specialty of focus was incorrect. After graduation, I went back to the basics and put my nursing assistant certification to use.

Up until recently, I was like many of my peers, uncertain about what the future would hold for me. I did not know where exactly I wanted to attend school, what I wanted to study, or what I wanted to do career-wise. But, after taking high school classes like Business Information Management, Human Resources, Banking and Financial Services, and Accounting I, I found my long awaited answer, a fascination in the business and financial world. I loved attending these classes and learning new and exciting

When I was growing up, my parents always encouraged me to do well in school and to go college to create a better and brighter future for myself. Growing up with parents that did not even finish middle school, I always knew that I wanted to go to college, but once I reached my senior year of high school, I felt confused as to what I really wanted to do. I always thought that I somewhat knew what I wanted to study, but once I got to the end of high school, I began wondering what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Therefore, I decided to apply for the COMPASS program at UCF because I like the areas of science and math, so I thought that I could explore some more majors in those areas. As I took MHS 2330, I became more exposed to the various

As a young student, people tend not to plan out what they’ll do in the future. As a middle schooler, they think, “What does it matter? It’s all so far off.” Then they get into high school and the pressure is heightened. As a freshman, people are telling us, “Start

College is a time where many decide the path the wish to take for the future. Many either declare their major or enter undeclared, wanting to explore the choices laid out for them. I am one of them. While I do have an interest in the medical field, I am not exactly sure as to if I am interested enough to actually major in it. I want to keep my options open. With money being an issue for many, including myself, I decided to go in as undeclared because I want to make sure the major I picked will be something I will be passionate about and love. As I go in undeclared, I will use it as a learning experience and join a variety of clubs and classes to broaden my interests. Liking a subject is one thing, but actually majoring and getting a job in

1). Some of the career that are fit ISTP are Forensic Science Technicians, Agricultural Inspector, Computer Programmer, Engineer, Entrepreneur, and Construction or building Inspector. These careers require skill and techniques to master. The ability to solving problem in the short and long term. Working independently, sometime people with ISTP don’t

I have come to see you are really struggling with your decision regarding changing your major. I thought I would share my thoughts on it to possibly help you make up your mind. A lot of my friends have gone through the same reluctance you are experiencing in picking to change or not to change majors. If I were to give you my best advice I would say to change your major. But, I feel the best solution to your problem is to make a compromise of both by double majoring in art history and accounting. Through looking at financial burdens, examining reasons why your parents want you to be an accountant, and considering your future and newfound passion, you will see a combination of both that will bring both parties in agreeance.

Hi fellow classmates! I am Michelle, this is my 3rd, 8-week session in my academic career. I am going to school to obtain my Associates Degree in Accounting and then move on to a Bachelors in Business, at least that is what I am saying for now. I may change my mind and get Bachelors in Accounting, I am not sure yet. I have worked in various law offices in the past and 2 semi-large companies in my career. My last position was with a light bulb manufacturer. I have been married for 16 ½ years to a wonderful retired military man. We have two children 21 and 6, and have just moved to Florida from Ohio 3 weeks ago. This move has been our retirement goal for many years. I currently take 3 courses each 8-week session, therefore, I do not have

As a first time college student studying Medical Office certificate, I thought that by finishing the certificate program I would be done with school in general, but as I continued on with my classes in the summer and fall I found myself thinking about becoming a double major. While working through the inner debate of being a double major or not it was clear it would be in my best interest to do both a Business Administration degree and Medical Office Certificate, that is where I find myself today.

Now I'm taking classes, paying dearly for each credit, and hoping that an career will spring from it all like Athena from Zeus. Not a day passes where I don't reexamine my choices, and question myself as to what I would like to do to earn money. "Majoring in majoring" has been my motto as I've thrown myself over a few areas in which I hold interest. Nearing the stage where I must announce a major or two, I can no longer hide with my motto in hand.
