Statement of Purpose to Work in Petroleum Engineering or Law

I am not one of those individuals who realized that a career in the legal field would be their lifelong dream from the age of six or even twelve, or to be honest, after graduating high school. I have been aimless for a majority of my life, and it shows. I chose to major in biotechnology, then after a few semesters, decided to double major in literature. I then went on to become president of an academic society focused on International studies. It was not until I took the course Law and Business in my Sophomore year with Professor Jisoo Lee that I believed I could be nothing else but a lawyer. I was enthralled by what others found tedious and boring, spending every available minute reading case files and figuring out ways to, as my professor

Throughout my high school career I focused on law. Law was not my passion but with a family full of lawyers it is what I

There are many majors out there and tons to choose from. Many students in high school by now have an idea on what they’re interested on becoming. So far, I have no clue on what I want to study, but I do have a picture of it. Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make in your life. Because of that you have to choose very carefully and make sure whatever you choose will suite you. Whether it’s from engineering or going into the medical field, they all take time. Here I have chosen 5 careers that I myself am very interested on studying after high school.

Deciding what your life will be like for the next 40 years is something you want to think hard about. I've spent five years thinking about what I want as a career, and I still don’t know what I want to be! It is between be a Paralegal or beinng a Police Officer. Do I want to work for lawyers or live a risky life as a cop? I still don't know the answer. I really couldn’t tell you why Law would be my favorate as a career. I've always been interested in law. A Paralegal job would be perfect. Wearing suits, fancy shoes, own office, what’s not to love? Finding myself a husband who’s a lawyer would be awesome too. I guess growing up in New York with both of your parents being a Police Officer it is something to consider. I get this weird sensation

Throughout my life, I always wondered what my profession would be when I grew up. My first choice was to be a nurse because I love to help people and make sure that they are well taken care of. When I reached high school, my thoughts about nursing tapered off because other careers interested me even more, such as becoming a lawyer. As I began researching more and more about lawyers, I talked to my work based learning teacher at school, and she recommended a part time job at a law firm. I began calling around, and entering my senior year of high school, I received my first job at a law firm. The first days of working at the law firm, I was extremely excited because I thought that I would be one step closer to reaching my goals as an attorney. I had the privilege of seeing what the attorneys did throughout the day, however as my experience in the firm progressed, my interest in becoming an attorney dwindled. I then realized I was back to square one and was extremely discouraged, because I did not know what I wanted to do with my life.

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.

College decisions and career options are one tough topic to comprehend, but with the right help, students will succeed with their future. No matter the situation, both decisions would change a student's life in some way shape or form by giving them opportunities of life and decision. The fact of knowing that I, myself has to make this decision of choosing between college or starting out in the career field after high school makes it crazy to

The most appealing career field for me is professional, and to be exact the career I am most interested in is Mechanical Engineering. The reasons why I am interested in Mechanical engineering are that, I love to build things, design things, and piecing everything together to finish the ¨puzzle¨, and see the final product. But the three main reasons why the professional career field is appealing to me are enormous paychecks, many different types of work experiences, and it can help me make other lives easier and better.

As cliché as it might sound, every Saturday I wake up early in the morning to help my father landscape other people's yards as a stereotypical Mexican. This is my drive to pursue a higher-level education. Even though my life is not yet planned out I do have an idea on what I want to study and become in a nearby future. I am accepted at Arizona State University and am admitted in their criminal justice program. To have a major in criminal justice and earn my Bachelor's degree is my educational goal. There are two possible career paths that attract my attention to seek after gaining my degree. The first career path is a lawyer, ever since I was young I always found a strong passion in justice and fighting for what is fair. With my boldness as

It is very fascinating that you want to become a paralegal or lawyer. Both of those jobs are magnificent careers. I have heard law school is very hard and competitive but I am sure you already know more about this than I do. I am in my third semester here at Ivy Tech and my major right now is to earn my associates degree in Criminal Justice. I also want to recieve my bachelor's degree. It was really nice reading your post, I hope you achieve your dreams and goals as a paralegal/lawyer!

When I was assigned to research the career I want to pursue in college for a class project last year, I learned a fact that changed my whole perspective on the career I wanted. I discovered that marine biology was an oversaturated career, and had a much lower salary than what I expected the salary was going to be. This revelation lead me to reconsider another career option that I would be interested in. I decided to take some career aptitude tests to see what other careers matched my interests. I discovered various careers that involved science, ranging from anthropology to zoology. I carefully sorted out the careers that I had the most interest in from the careers that I had little or no interest in. The main factor with sorting through these career choices was trying to find a balance between what career option has a high salary

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.

I am a 25 year old, half Colombian, half Mexican male, born in Illinois and raised in Florida. Ever since I can remember, I have talked about wanting to be an attorney. But, my journey to that destination has been anything but a straight path. I have taken many detours along the way exploring and developing many interests and passions. I fell in love with building/construction, design and cooking. I found debate, economics, and government fascinating. I tried my hand in sales and marketing while working over the years in the

Chemical engineering is a research oriented field which has flourished over the centuries and finds its applications in almost every product we use in our life these days. The myriad and multifarious applications of this branch always captivated me. My interest in Chemical Engineering has accreted exponentially as I’ve been learning about this branch in my under graduation, and thus became certain that a career as Chemical Engineer suits me. This field has a large potential for research and that is what I envisage myself doing in a few years from now. I believe that a master’s degree in Chemical Engineering would augment my intellectual knowledge and furnish me with strong fundamentals that are needed to create something

Recent discoveries of oil and gas deposits in some African countries, such as Ghana, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Uganda etc. present new opportunities to chart a sustainable growth and development path that facilitates poverty reduction.
