Last year I was a graduate student investigating the structure of enzymes involved in RNA splicing. During that time, I worked long hours in the lab and spent late nights at a computer analyzing data. Today, I am a coach at a junior tennis academy. Now, my mornings are free and my afternoons are filled teaching the fundamentals of tennis to young players as I hope to transition towards a career in law. How did I arrive at this juncture? What motivated me to leave the lab and embark on this new path? To answer these questions, let me first explain what motivated me initially to pursue a career in research.
With an interest in science well before college, I entered Emory University as a chemistry major. In my introductory courses I became fascinated with learning how genes function at the molecular level. This fascination motivated me to join a lab studying mechanisms of mRNA export to the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells, an important step in gene expression. My first project involved a collaboration with a structural biologist working to elucidate the structure of proteins implicated in mRNA export. This work sparked my interest in structural biology, as I was left with a deeper desire to understand how the structures of proteins and nucleic acids correlate with their biological function. Equipped with this newfound enthusiasm, I applied to graduate programs across the country. Hoping to be trained as a structural biologist with a special interest in RNA biochemistry, I chose
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.
The field of science has always been of interest to me. The quest to learn as much as possible about the universe we live in has always been a journey I would like to be a part of. However, I had not, until recently, decided in what facet I would like to contribute. Originally I had thought that an area of physics was the field I would pursue. The mysteries and beauty of the cosmos drew me in but I was never certain it was what I wanted to pursue. My realization came during my first semester in AP Biology. I was exceptionally fascinated by the molecular workings of cells and by the genetic code that orchestrated it all. The beautiful complexity of intercellular communication and the wonderful mystery of noncoding DNA, captured my interest.
My career choice is a Forensic Psychologist. Since I first figured what I wanted to be when I grew up, it either involved science, medicine, and law. I went from Surgeon to Scientist then to Lawyer. It always somehow involved the criminal field. So, I did more research on what I could assemble and I came to the conclusion that being a Forensic Psychologist was the best route for me to take. In my paper, I will be telling you more in depth information about my career choice, how my thoughts of my career choice relate to the information of my career, my plan to get to this career, and furthermore my future.

I am hoping you can help me out. My hours have been low at work and there are some extra activities Calvin wants to participate in. We have started up Cub scouts again and wants to join an indoor soccer league for the winter. If you are able and willing could you help put with the cost of these. If not I understand and there will be no hard feelings. I know you already pay child support and that helps out with day today expenses. In all honesty we will most likely participate in them because this move has been hard on him and these activities boost his self confidence and is helping him make friends. I am just trying to accumulate as little debt as possible while work is
In life, there are many decisions that people come across, from what to eat for lunch everyday, to where to start a career at. Many young people in high school do not often think about what they want to do after high school until they are a senior. For me, I knew what I have wanted to do ever since I was in middle school. High school has been an amazing experience for me, and has helped me make strong decisions, but I have been ready to move on since the first day of senior year. I am very family-oriented and do not like to be far away from home for a long period of time, so a close college is best. I have been looking into Bowling Green State University and Ohio Northern University for the past year. While BGSU

In my Career Explorations and Opportunities (CEO) class, we have just completed a financial unit. Before this unit I didn’t understand many banking terms, I wasn't aware of the difference between savings and chequing and did not know what was available to me through banks being a student. Throughout the unit I was constantly learning new things and realized how important saving is! Savings can really be a great safety net in case of emergency. Throughout this unit I have learned a lot about savings, savings skills, savings mindset, investing, types of investments and my risk appetite. In the following paragraphs I would like to tell you on what I learned throughout this unit.
Picking a career is a tough decision for a teenager and that is very common. It is what you will likely do for the rest of your life so the decision is scary for most. My career choice, on the other hand, was easy. I have always enjoyed math and seeing things come together through my ideas and creativity, so engineering was a perfect fit.
Since the age of 11 my main hobby was and is to play football or similar sports that involve team work. This is because I like to work with my friends or other people and it helped me to develop good team working skills that has helped me in many scenarios during the course, such as contributing to the team in the success of our event, which took place this year as part of the course, which also can be useful in future university team works. This hobby also helped me to develop my leaderships skills, because I have been a team captain for two years and it can help me to get good grade at university as I will be able to lead any team work, at my course a. Currently I am a fully qualified FA referee. Being a referee has helped me a lot in my
With the demands of a constantly evolving market and career field, companies and employers have began to seek more and more college degreed employees. Which has lead to universities being the foundation in creating these degreed specialties, but what critical role do universities play in developing robust employees?

Choosing a right career path can be tough. Especially, when the parents are involved. Parents want their children to have a better life in the future so they want their children to be educated. When they are successfully graduate from the college they can get a high paying job and earn much more than their parents. However, does everyone listen and follow their parents’ decisions about the career? What happen if kids didn’t want what their parents told them to do? Is there a compromise and or one side needs to give in? It was a tough decision for me too. There was a lot of pressure on me. I was hesitated and somehow worried when my parents were involved, but I knew what I want for my career.
Finding a specific career path can not only be difficult, but it can also induce bouts of anxiety, anger, and sadness over a crucial part of an individual’s life. Settling on a career can be unnerving when thinking about the fact that this is the career that you spend thousands of dollars on in college, that this is the career you will work in until you retire. With this course, I’ve found that it has been easier to narrow down a goal towards finding a career. Through career assessments, different assignments and discussions, I have realized what my barriers and strengths are. Overcoming these and improving these skills or applying them to an actual career assisted me in narrowing my goal as well. I am now able to clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of my career goal and to think clearer about the next steps that I will take after this course.
