My Career Path

My alternate career path is nursing. I think this would be a good career for me because in nursing you have to work with people and you help them, and I like to help people anyway I can. I didn’t pick nursing as my major because to be a nurse you have to go to school for four years and I didn’t want to do that, so I decided to do a degree that is only two years.

However, I had a lot of trouble narrowing my career interests to one career path, because each medical career seemed equally appealing to me, that was, until my senior year of high school. During the second semester of my senior year, I took a specialized class called “Health Occupations”. This was a dual-credit course offered at my high school that allowed students to explore many avenues of medical careers. For this class, I had the opportunity to travel twice a week to different healthcare facilities in the area. We were also given the opportunity to work

“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing”- Pelé. When I think about my future, quite frankly, I’m not sure where I’ll end up. I truly believe my future will depend on my personal happiness no matter what career I end up in. However, that’s not how life goes. In a career, it’s not all flowers and daisies; you sacrifice, you endure, you persevere, and sometimes, you suffer but in the end you are rewarded with a life only dreamed by some. I’m not looking at the medical field for money, I’m looking at it for how it fits to my characteristics. The medical field is a group of people willing to suffer, sacrifice, and endure for the well-being

When I took my first biology class my freshman year of high school, I knew that I wanted to aim for a career in the field of science, I just couldn't decide exactly what I wanted to do. It wasn't until my first anatomy class my junior year that I fell in love with the study of the human body, and figured out exactly what I wanted to become: a surgeon. I chose this as my career not only because of my love for anatomy, but also because I was infatuated with the idea that I could save people's lives every day and because I shared that same interest in medicine.

My new career choice I had decided was a doctor specialist in which I will not say but they make a reasonable amount of money and I can take my career further into that certain field. Upon this decision I couldn’t make up my mind exactly, I’ve been constantly thinking of just sticking with computer science, a profiler, and or a Research Psychologist. After about two months of trying to decide I decided to just stick with medicine.

I have always been interested in the medical field. My father is a physiotherapist and my mother is a trained laboratory technician. I have grown up having science-themed discussions around the dinner table and books lying around the house. Seeing both my mother and father at work, I knew that neither of those professions were the correct fit for me. I liked the personal side of physiotherapy but I wanted something more technology related. As I searched for careers in the medical field, I could not find anything that I was passionate about. I could not find a career that combined my

As a child, adults always asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. To this day, I can remember wanting to become a Cardiologist, and my mother investing in my dreams at an early age. From elementary school to my sophomore year pursuing my undergraduate degree, I dedicated my time to make that dream a reality. However, growing up I was unaware of the challenges that accompanied setting and accomplishing goals. I was also unaware of the underlying factors that played a crucial part in deciding on a career. Consistency, dedication, passion, and a strong support system played a vital role in molding my future well-being.

The medical field has sparked an interest in my love for science, pretty much since I began my academic career. The constant advancements and the touching stories of individuals that have undergone life changing circumstances, have inspired me to pursue a career as a nurse and then continue my education to later become a Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgeon.

Identifying the career path that one would like to go into after collage is one of the more important decisions someone may make in their lifetime. This question has lingered in my head for a couple of years now, and it has begun to feel like an anchor holding me down. I tried my best to clear my mind and focus less on the future and more on passion. This exercise was to find a career option that I think I may want to explore as a career, not necessarily a decision set in stone.

My career path was rerouted after the birth to my son. I was managing a 24-hour Alarm Monitoring Call Center with two years of college education in Psychology. Due to an inconsistent work schedule and difficulty locating Psychology courses that worked around my schedule, I decided to change my career path to Business Management, since I already had nearly 8 years experience in supervision and management. My mentor introduced me and made me familiar with the Dictionary of Occupational (DOT) following high school. The DOT is comprised of all occupations and job titles, salary ranges, responsibilities, and industries (Berry, 2003). As I prepared for my new journey, I evaluated my decision, researched, planned, applied for new occupations that interest me, and prepared for my new career in Management.
