I believe being a microbiologist would be great for me. I like to use advanced medical and laboratory equipment. I have always wanted to be a doctor, but as a microbiologist I could work in a hospital or a facility and help other people. I
Within society, there are many occupations to explore and chose. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) results showed that my personal career strengths fall under the area of teaching and counseling. Currently, as a school counselor for a high school in Duncanville, Texas, a suburb outside of Dallas, I find the results of the assessment to be very accurate. Making the decision to become a counselor is a rewarding and exciting career choice. In the world of counsling, there are many individuals who place emphasis on not just basic implications, but also on theoretical studies that usually are a part of
Today, less than half a percent of Americans serve in the military, and of that number, about fourteen percent are women. Women have been serving in the United States Navy since 1942 (Saxena, 93). In addition to stating that the Navy is part of the Defense Department, the largest Government agency in the United States, that employs over 2.1 million people, it can be better understood to define the Navy as a seagoing arm of the nation’s military forces (Saxena 11 ,87). The Navy offers various job titles and careers, including microbiology. Within microbiology you investigate the growth, structure, development, and other characteristics of microscopic organisms, including algae, bacteria, and fungi (Choices Planner). Microbiology is just one of the many possible careers featured for the United States Navy.
The medical field is a career path that brings about many options and opportunities of great value. The noble idea of being a doctor tends to cloud the diligent studying and precise training that is actually required for this career. I have wanted to become a doctor since a very young age, and now that the opportunity is here for the taking, I have fully researched what it takes to succeed in this profession and various specialties of the practice. The road to a medical degree is one filled with thousands of notes, years of schooling, and many stressful nights, but the reward is one incomparable to any other. Saving people’s lives on a day-to-day basis has been one of my dreams for as long as I can remember, so the rigorous curriculum

For my Health Science 1 class we were instructed to choose 3 different careers. The careers to be chosen were a health care career, a career of disinterest, and a career we would like to pursue. I aspire to be a Cardiovascular Perfusionist because it would feel great to be able to prevent someone from dying pre- maturely. I dislike the real estate field because they don't make much money and they do entirely too much work for not much profit. I choose Neurology as my health care career because I like learning about the brain, how it works and how and why people get mental disorders.
Find, and list, at least 10 different careers from various sectors in the health care industry. Describe the role of each career and explain what makes that profession different from the others. You can include, but are not limited to, factors such as education and experience requirements, services rendered or products offered, licensure, pay, involvement with other health care sectors, and type of work duties.

The biology career that i choose to do my research paper project on was a Microbiologist which is a biologist that studies is a scientist who studies microscopic life forms like cells and processes or works in the field of microbiology.The job of a microbiologist is to study bacteria, virus, cells, and other organisms that can not be seen with the naked eye they do that so they can reroute viruses or bacteria that can harm humans to make life safe harm humans to try to reroute them and make them non harmful towards humans. A microbiologist would study ebola or the flu virus to come up with a cure. This means they have a part in health care because they cure diseases and/or fight against them. I will be discussing a Microbiologist from their

Staphylococcus aureus- Is a facultative anaerobic, Gram-positive, salt positive, cocci shaped bacterium. Staphylococcus aureus is found as normal part of the skin floral in the nasal passages and on the skin. An estimated twenty percent of people naturally have harmless Staphylococcus aureus on their skin and are long-term carries for Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common strand of Staphylococcus in humans to date, spread through skin to skin contact or even skin to object contact that an a person infected with Staphylococcus aureus has touched. Staphylococcus aureus is coagulase positive, which induces clumping of the cells and of the blood. Staphylococcus
You are given a sputum sample from a patient that may be infected with a bacterium from one of the following genera: Bacillus, Escherichia, or Mycoplasma. In a Microsoft Word document, describe the important anatomical differences among these three genera (i.e., those features that could be used to differentiate among them) and the staining protocols you would use to identify which genera is causing the patient’s infection. When discussing each staining protocol, it is important not only to mention the steps involved, but also how each step and each protocol would identify or eliminate each of these genera as a suspect. You may refer to other scientific resources, but they should be in addition to and not in place of the Module 2
Planning and research is important when trying to succeed in any endeavor. A career goal is no different. My goal is to become a biomedical engineer because it is a diverse subject with interdisciplinary opportunities, and it can be extremely helpful to other individuals with various ailments. There are many aspects to each type of career, and they should all be considered when choosing a job or field. Some of the most critical factors in career planning include considering the necessary education and training, required skills, earning potential, benefits, daily routine, and one’s own personal abilities (Teen's Guide to College and Career Planning, 21-32). By examining these elements in regard to biomedical engineering, I can distinguish my misconceptions from the realities of this career and reevaluate my decision to pursue it.
As a kid, I was intrigued by the things happening around me and I pondered if there was a rational explanation to explain these elusive phenomena. Even at the level of high school, I participated in many of the science debates and was involved in paper presentations involving grave matters encompassing current problems as well as coming up with practical solution. This pragmatic approach towards science and a need to understand the fundamentals of how things work thrusted me towards the career of a research scientist. Being logical in reasoning and having higher inclination towards the practical research, I undertook an undergraduate course in Microbiology at Mumbai University. The Bachelor’s course was focused primarily on the prokaryotic microorganism emphasizing on their genetics, their interaction with other organisms and their health implications in addition to a brief understanding of their underlying pathology in various diseases. While performing curricular laboratory experiments, I learnt how to work with various microbial species, to perform biochemical tests using commercial toolkits, to understand the biochemistry behind the cellular interaction and to unravel the pathology of various unicellular or multicellular pathogens. Learning the coursework and working with microbial cell colony, understanding their functions in addition to sub-culturing the microbial cell colonies helped me develop my microbiology techniques, biochemistry skills and introduced me to a
