My Dream Career

After having been in my first college year for a couple of months, I still had no idea what I was leaning towards for a major. Within these first couple of months I had learned that Biomedical Studies was not something that I was sure of, along with many other careers and majors that I learned about in the Compass class that were not for me. Tired of not knowing what I wanted to do, I sat myself down and did some researched. I came upon

Selecting a college major is an important decision, and it is not one that should be made lightly. It is important to remember, however, that declaring a major is not an irreversible decision.

Students spend so much time working towards a specific career that some of us will end up sticking with the unhappiness that we feel towards that career just because we spent so much time and money on that degree. It’s like buying a ticket for the wrong movie. Somehow you mix up the titles for a movie you want to see and one you don’t. If exchanging that wrong ticket isn’t an option, wouldn’t you rather sit through that movie and hope it entertains you rather than wasting the money by throwing that ticket away?

Everyone who decides to enroll in college must, at some point, think about what area they want to major in. There are many things that students consider when choosing a major.

However, many students believe that if you choose a major that interests you and challenges you then you can use those skills that can help you in any career. (R. Landrum & S. Davis, 2014) Let’s face it. Employers know that when they hire someone straight out of college they are not immediately going to know

To be successful in my career I am going to attend Fresno State University. I have made a lot of progress in pursuing that. I have gotten a C or above in every class I have taken so far, passed 2 years of Spanish and also have done the required types of electives. Once I am in college, I will then figure out what exactly I will major in, and what career I want. I am having a hard time choosing both of those. It seems as if most people I know have a good idea on what they will major in and what career paths they are going for. Personally though, I have no idea. But the very choice to choose that for myself and have it be a large possibility is a part of “The American

Numerous students are unsure of what they aspire to be when they graduate High School, most wait until their junior or senior year to thoroughly ponder it, some even wait until they’re already in their first or second year of college. Then in college, 50%-70% of students change their major at least three times before they graduate. Finding or even thinking about sticking to something, like a career for a long period of time can be intimidating for anybody. That’s why I personally think it’s preferable to at least have a slight idea, in order to somewhat know the necessary classes to take to stay on the right path.

For as long as I can remember, I had always said that when I grew up, I wanted to become a teacher. Up until Jr. high school, is when I decided I wanted to become a math teacher. I have always been great at math, also, it has always been my favorite subject in school. My friends always struggled and disliked it, but I was always getting awards and recognitions for my achievements in mathematics. So when “college-and-major-decision-making” approached during high school, there was no doubt what I wanted to do and what route I was taking.

However, I need to find a major that fits me before thinking of going to the next step. Just as any other teenager it's unpredicted what will I end up with. So, now I'm in between of two majors that I'm not 100% sure about. I'm in the way of finding a major that I am or will be passionate about. A major that I find myself comfortable with. Feeling comfortable with the major you'll be studying is a huge thing due to it becoming a part of your life. As we get older, making a living will be a crucial part of our lives, It's what we'll be mostly thinking about. So, we need to consider that while searching for the fit major. Also thinking about the future ahead of time to be able to find the perfect

The idea of college is scary. Just when you think have decided what you want to do with your life, there is that lingering doubt in the back of your mind. What if I choose the wrong career? What if I never find a career I truly love? I am at the point where I have to decide which me that I want to grow up to be. Growing up I have envisioned myself having many different careers. I have wanted to be a photographer, a graphic designer, a party planner, a set designer, an actor, a painter, and all these grand ideas of careers eventually led me to the field of teaching. I am currently taking college classes because I want to prepare myself for what college will be like; I also like getting credits that I will need to eventually graduate and become

Fresh out of high school the million dollar question is, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” A question that should be answered when you graduate high school but unfortunately many high school graduates are not prepared for the career world as they should be. With no idea in what they want to major in and convinced that high school isn’t a big deal. That all you have to do is get good grades and that college will be the same thing. However it is not, high school should be the time students start preparing to decide on a major, if they do not they will stumble over what classes to choose. Without a strategy, undecided students are particularly at risk for dropping out because they struggle to decide on a major and they never fully engage with their chosen major. This may lead to students changing majors and cause them to exceed the necessary credit to graduate. To address this problem undecided students will need to go out of their way and explore the many different career choices. In addition they need support from high schools, colleges, and the legislature, with their aid undecided students will hopefully be less of a problem in the future.

Being alive did not mean breath, sometimes people consider themselves alive because they are breathing, and the truth is the billions of people did not really know the significant part of prove that you are alive. I am originally from Phoenix, Arizona but I grew up in San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora Mexico. My parents were born in Durango. My mother is very important in my life, because thanks of her I am who I am today. I have experienced many difficult situations but my mother helped me to overcome them. My mother is a person whom I admire because even though she doesn’t have a degree, she never gives up, and supports and encourages me to keep on going. Thanks to her I have learned many things in life that are not paid with any career. My mother and my grandmother are my inspiration. They taught me that life is not easy, it gets even harder when you are challenging yourself to get better. Now I am challenging myself to build a good future. I had been learning English for 12 months. I passed my ESL classes, in less than 8 months, I am now in regular classes. I consider myself an intelligent young lady who is capable of anything, therefore I plan to continue my education.
