My Career As A Career

Have you ever been in a position where you where stuck and couldn’t decide between two careers? Whether it was something that you love to do or something that pays well? The answer may seem easy to you but when you start comparing the facts; that’s when it gets hard to choose. For many of us, graduates and people around the world have a difficult time choosing a career that can be a confusing process. A lot of people tend to settle down on a career quickly. Unfortunately, choosing a rapid occupation often leads to an unsatisfying path in the future, if not sooner. Eventually the individual decides to quit and start all over again. According to choosingacareer.net, “6% of

Deciding on what you want to be or do for your career is a difficult task everyone faces

How I came to choose which career path better suites me is through figuring out which of the daily tasks and environments I would like to pursue as a career. Each job is particularly

Does anyone have a hard time choosing what career or job which they really want to do in the future? I personally have two jobs that I am considering right now: actuary and physical therapist. Actuaries basically manage risk. They help organizations plan for the future and protect themselves from loss. Physical therapists use a variety of techniques to improve mobility, relieve pain and prevent permanent physical disabilities in their patients. The reason why I am choosing between these two jobs is very much related to my past experience. Since my youth, I was influenced by my elder sister who is very

For the past few months I have indecisively wondered whether or not to work towards the career of my dreams or accept an offer in a completely unrelated field. I have always wanted to study horses and become an equine chiropractor. Recently, my mom has offered me a position in her law office as a title closing assistant. Even though the fields of work are entirely opposite, I have to choose which would best suit my career needs, and even lifestyle. I have been swayed to either side of the spectrum; convinced at times neither field was fitting my personality. I need to know soon which line of work I would be most satisfied in or is more interesting, even if the future is always going to be unforeseen.

Children are often asked what they want to be when they are older. Typical answers are doctor, lawyers, athlete, etc. Thinking back when given the opportunity to answer the question my answer was that I wanted to help people. As I progressed in aged that answer kept evloving, but the root was always the same. A career that made an impact on someone's life is what I was in search for.

Growing up I was never completely positive what I wanted to do with my life as far as a career choice, but I did know that I wanted to help people and have a positive impact on those that I came into contact with. So, it was not long after graduating high school that I became a CNA. I enjoyed everything about my job and always felt that it was a good fit for me, but with every passing day I found myself wanting to learn more. I began going to school in 2015, working towards getting my RN and decided to take an EKG course. Soon thereafter, I discovered that I was in love with the heart muscle and that cardio was my calling. My future goals are to get my RN and work in cardiology. These goals are very expensive ones, especially since I went backwards in life and had not only one, but three children before finishing school. The Dr.Charles Inlow scholarship could help me fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse in cardio because it will relieve some of the stress of paying college expenses, create more opportunities for my family and I to spend quality time, and will also benefit my resume for future applications.

Finding a career is a long process for some people, but it comes naturally to others. You think about what you want to be when you’re in kindergarten, when your imagination is running wild and you think every possibility is an actuality. As I have matured, I realized what career I choose is something that I love and will enjoy doing for the rest of my life which for me is to be a physical therapist.

I never saw myself as a teacher. My first degree was in Chemistry, and I always thought that I would be working in a lab or something along those lines. After graduating, I had the chance to work at the City of Red Deer wastewater treatment plant as a Lab Technician. While working this job, I found that being a lab tech was not something that I wanted to spend my life doing as it was kind of boring. The first month was exciting but as time went on and I found myself getting bored of doing the same test everyday day after day. I knew that this was not the job for me, so I went back to being a lifeguard/swim instructor, and had to think about what I wanted to do with my life.

The older I become, the more I learn about myself and the kind of person I aspire to be. I plan to be a person who can help others no matter what. Over the years, I started to work towards the common goal of getting better at everything I do. No matter how big or small the goal is I am proud of myself for attempting to achieve it. In order to achieve a great life, I need to push myself and work for what I want. The older I become the more I experience in my life and decide what I want to pursue as a career. After witnessing certain events in my life, I continue to push myself to work towards my goal of helping others and working hard for my goals.

To begin with, a career is an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress. People want to pursue a passion, but they forget the fundamentals and spend most of their life figuring it out with no guidance. A career is important to choose because it helps you develop a sense of priority and help you attain knowledge towards your desired passion. Unbelievably, with experience people end up changing their minds and start to pursue something else that might interest them and that is totally fine. The whole point of a career is to help you determine what you like as a future profession and attain knowledge about it, so you can make a clear-cut decision.

During my lifetime, I have had my fair share of hardships with money. Being from a family who had 4 kids and was constantly taking care of sick elders in the family, we were very strapped and conservative with money. My family didn’t like to spend money on anything and we didn’t buy anything that wasn’t necessary. That is why I am conservative and cheap with money, always looking for cheaper options and better deals. Because of having a childhood where I didn’t spend money, this made me rather good with money, and interested me enough to decide that this would be my future profession.

Have you ever worried about your future? Do you want to pursue a successful career, but later figure out that you’re not enjoying it? Or do you want to have a not so successful career but absolutely love what you're doing? During high school, teachers put a lot of stress on students to find a major that they are interested in, but many students are still uncertain on what they want to do past high school. Every since I was little, I wanted to become a teacher. They have great hours but not so good pay. One of my teachers talked to me about becoming a pediatric nurse, but I’m not good with anything medical. And my friend wants to become a dental hygienist, which makes me wonder if it would be good for me. In order to live a successful life, I must have a solid career to support myself. Becoming a teacher, pediatric nurse, and dental hygienist all interest me, but which one do I want to purse?

The choices I’ve made in life as far as career aspirations were shaped by my upbringing. As a child my parents were not overbarrings but there was set rules in the household that I followed. My mother was lenient while my father was strict but I did have the freedom to experience things to figure out my likes and dislikes. My parents emphasized the importance of school and its role helping me about financially stable as an adult. Also, my parents stressed the importance of survival and being able to provide for my family in the future. My choices in life and character traits were greatly shaped by my mother. She’s very generous, open-minded and have a great respect of others. She is constantly lending a helping hand to her family members.

Choosing a job is easy since its more set for a short term experience, but when it comes to a career, it’s more a long term plan. Usually once you began a path to your career, it’s difficult to leave. So, how do we know if the choice we are making and the path we are choosing is what we want to do? Studies have shown there are four theories and three traits that can to help us choose the best career for each individual. Once you find out who you are, you will find a career that best fits you, not on what you know.
