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

When I think of my career goals, I ask myself what I want to accomplish in life. I know that I love helping patients and families, and I want to continue to do that. I always am changing my mind on what I want to do after my BSN. I don’t know when or if I will get my masters or continue to work at the bedside for a while. I love what I do and what I do for other people and families. Working in the critical care unit feels like home. I get to do what I love.

The assortment of career choices and educational options in the business world cover a wealth of abilities and skills.

Here are some examples of how to align your personal attributes with potential business careers.

I have wanted to work in the medical field since I was little girl, but just recently grew sure in what I specifically wanted to do. I have chosen to pursue a career in healthcare administration. I know that that there are a lot of preparations to do to get there, but I know that I can make it. My decision to attend Kaplan University is just one of many steps to take to achieve my goal. Kaplan is going to help me to earn the degree I need, but I am the only one in control of the personality traits and skills I need to obtain the position I seek. In this paper I will address all of these things including where I see myself in 5 years.

I do enjoy writing, more so about topics that interest me. I try to find something in any topic I’m given that interests me, having that mindset helps me get through the writing process much easier. I have writers block sometimes especially while writing papers for school. I am definitely a procrastinator but, I’m trying to change that in college. I am working toward becoming a better student and writer. I want to be an Elementary School teacher, so I have to know the right techniques in order to teach students. Writing for school although it is something I don’t like, I know I have to do it in order to learn and get better as a writer. One of the few times I did enjoy writing for class was an assignment that I had to research and write about

I have read the chapter on careers in child welfare, and I believe that a job in this field would be good for me. I have worked with many children during high school and college. I have work with children in the age range of 2 month-4 years old and 4 years old – 13 years old I have worked with children in different settings like after school programs and child daycares. I am very empathetic and sympathetic to the feeling of the children in these setting. I always looked out for the children and made sure they were out of harm’s way. I have listened to their problem and have given them advice. I have interacted with some parents of the children but they were more from the inner city. I haven’t really interacted with a parent who is in rural

As an undergraduate, I continuously have had a difficult time trying to decide a career in which I may do for the rest of my life and potentially support a family with is a daunting task. Choosing to major in Sociology and minor in Criminal Justice has given me a large variety of potential careers I can choose. During Junior year when I was getting introduced in my major classes, I developed an interest in federal occupations. I always knew that I was interested in background work such as researching for a federal agency or counseling victims and offenders. After researching various careers, I have spiked an interested in the occupation of an Intelligence Research Assistant through the federal agency of Homeland Security.

My aspirations within the field are to advocate for social change and advance the quality of life of the underrepresented Latino community in the City of Philadelphia. I am certain that earning a Master in Social Work will equip me with the tools necessary to do this in a caring and supportive way. I am a firm believer of social change and that by helping our communities, change can be achieved. I am passionate about children, families and minorities. Being from a minority group myself, I am able to relate to those who have a similar background.

I want to be surrounded by writers. At my school, the only time kids are writing is when the teacher tells them to or because colleges require it. They don't care about the words they put on the page. People take AP and Honors English classes because they look challenging, not because they wish to improve their craft. I want to be in an environment that appreciates writing, believes in writers, and aspires to give everyone a chance to share their voice. I get so wrapped up in my classes that the only time I end up writing is in class during lessons. I don't want writing to be something I need to squeeze in, I want to have to squeeze in other things because I'm writing. I just want to be around thoughtful and devoted people, helping others become

From dawn to evening, the hours have always seemed seamless to me throughout the scorching day in the tomato fields. Sometimes, I look directly at the baked dirt and wonder about my father and his achievements. To this day, it is unimaginable for me about him working on the U.S. soil since he was sixteen years old. Against all odds my father had been inexperienced yet he worked daily to provide himself and his family back in his home country. For thirty years, his work and dedication were wrapped around the agricultural industries. First off, he started as a seasonal farm worker until later on, he had the courage to become a labor contractor for various companies after receiving his citizenship and contractor license. What I admire him the most is that he never stopped trying and proceeded to sign many contracts such as Pacific Tomato Growers, Gargiulo Inc., Wish Farms, Southern Forestry Consultants, Mike & Dianne Lane, LLC, and others in order provide for his four children and wife and also to complete his long-term project.

In the United States and around the world, many individuals will choose their career path very early in their lifetimes in order to attain the job position that they desire. With this being said, one must carefully plan and modify their lives to prepare for what the future withholds. For instance, in order for me to achieve my long time goals of becoming a software developer and/or a computer system analyst, then I would need to continue patiently walk along the bumpy path on my laborious, lengthy journey. Lastly, the following careers that I’ve set my eyes on will embark us onto a prolonged life excursion.

Coming to the point of my current career choice has been a long road. My idea of what a career is or should be has changed with circumstances and age. According to Weintraub (2005), "the average worker spends only four years in a job and will have 12 jobs in as many as five career fields during his or her working life." (para. 1) My first career was marriage and motherhood followed by a surprising healthcare career. What the future holds waits to be seen. With a bachelor of
