Section 1--Identify your career of choice and discuss the nature of work for your selected career:
My selected major is computer science. As I grew up, I began to develop a love for computers and that love grew each year, and each year I would use a computer even more than I had the year preceding that year therefore generating my passion for computer science. Computer scientists have more than one duty, as they have many. They usually work in a team with other computer programmers, information technology professionals and mechanical and or electrical engineers. These teams come up with ways to further computer technology by designing new technology. The skills required for computer science can be overwhelming but the top two most

Computer Scientists usually work on more than one project a day. They cycle through several projects looking at ways to improve code or write new code to include newer and better features to these programs. Troubleshooting is a huge part of the computer scientists work day as they don’t always get the results they would hope for on the first run, so they troubleshoot until a certain problem is fixed or a solution is found within the program.
Section 2--Preparation and qualifications for this career:
Becoming a Computer Scientist is not an easy task, it it were you could expect a lot more computer scientists out there since a computer science degree is one of the hottest out there with one of the most job offerings there has to offer for a four year degree. To become a Computer Scientist you must at least get a bachelor 's degree, which takes four years for most people. To complete an education in computer science you must take courses relating in math, programming, stats, and introduction courses to various topics within computer science and general education classes to complete a bachelor 's degree. The skills required to be prepared for computer science are being able to handle a large workload, multitasking, staying focused, and being able to critically think. You may notice how these skills relate closely to that of a person who is already a computer scientist, which is because these skills are a
I have chosen to pursue a career in computer science, because it has been a heavy influence on me throughout my life. All my life I have been surrounded by technology, almost more than half of my family has a career in the IT field, which is what sparked my interest. My earliest memory of when I first became interested was when I was about 6 and my mother bought me a phonics dog, and I was more interested in how it worked rather than what it did. I then saw the screw bolts and knew if I used a screwdriver I could see the inside of the toy so I opened it, and from then on I knew I was interested in technology. In middle school was when I first took my actual dive into the IT world and I learned there are different computer languages, and about different devices used in the tech world. Also I
In order for me to complete this career assessment paper, I initially took an Interest Inventory survey. Upon completing this process, it revealed that my personality profile score was (I, C, A). These three letters represented my strengths and interests in determining which career field would best suit me.
My major is Biology Pre-Med. I chose this particular major because I eventually want to become a doctor. The thing I like about this field is I like helping people; I want to save as many lives as possible.
Next year, I plan to major in Computer Engineering and begin a career helping make the world a better place through innovative technology. I realized my talents for math and sciences during freshman year of high school, and remember the exact moment I knew engineering was meant for me. While exploring the engineering shop at my vocational technical high school, the teacher showed my class a video of MIT students designing prosthetic limbs for amputees. It was then that I realized I could use my love of math and science to really help people.
The computer science Geek can be classified as a character who spends vast amounts of time and energy in a certain special, yet conventional area, for example, computer programming or troubleshooting, but not necessarily computers or technology. A computer science Geek is an outwardly normal person who can relate to others, in general, who has also taken the time to learn specific technical skills and would rather talk about their special obsession rather than anything else. Computer science Geeks are generally not athletic and
My current major is nursing. Being a License Practical Nurse for ten years has made me realize there is no greater reward than caring for the elderly, sick, and disable when they are terminally ill. Pursuing a career as a Registered Nurse has challenged me in ways I have never experienced. Having to interact with young adults in a classroom setting can be intimidating, however my goals have
My intentional major is Vocal Music Education. To me, music drives any experiences that life throws one's way into a series of carefully depicted categories of emotional expressions. My personal favorite is singing, but I still quite appreciate the value of instrumental music as well. Music has developed through the centuries with mighty composers such as Handel and Bach, along with hundreds of others that dwindled their ideas and separate life activities into words or elegant pitches, simply swirling these into a piece that may or may not be sung or played for thousands of years to come.
Describe the events, experiences, and influential people that led to your choice of a science, engineering, or mathematics major.
My college major interests involve accounting, actuarial science, applied mathematics, business, computer science, economics, and statistics. I am interested in these majors because they include analyzing data, problem-solving, logic, theorizing, and quantifying many aspects of life. Being able to take advanced math courses in high school and liking the experience developed my interests. Besides various teachers, I cannot say there is anyone that made me passionate about my interests besides my own curiosity of finding out why a certain method or product becomes optimal.
The areas of computer science/technology has ten main areas that we need in our everyday lives. The two computer science fields I am interested is Computer Forensics Investigator and Cyber Detective. They both have to do with computers and figuring out evidence to put suspects away but they involve different steps. Computer Forensic Investigators work with law enforcements agencies and private firms. Cyber detectives work with law enforcement agencies,private businesses,corporations agencies and regulatory agencies.
The major I chose is Animal Sciences. In high school I discovered my passion of working with animals by volunteering at a local animal shelter. Being able to assist in caring for and socializing the animals inspired me to take further steps. My high school offered an animal science class my junior year that I decided to take. That class revealed to me that Veterinary Medicine is my main goal in my education.
My passion is in computer programming specifically the creation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). I believe that AI would be very helpful for humanity and it would advance our technology faster. I hope that someday I would be able to create an AI that would benefit humankind. An AI that revolutionizes space exploration, engineering, biology, how we do
My college major will be astronomy. Astronomy is the study of the universe beyond the Earth, such as the stars, planets, and other celestial objects. Astronomy pushes the limits of our technology, which leads to the development of new instruments and processes processes. Astronomy is considered to be an important because of the “space age”, where many new developments in technology and new ideas were introduced.
The field I chose to study is both science majors including B.S. Chemistry with a Biochemistry track and B.A. Biology. I always enjoyed the sciences and I was always better in Chemistry than I am in Biology. That is why I am putting more of an emphasis on Chemistry, because I enjoy learning about chemical reactions and interactions.
The second principle refers to the innate abilities and skills that guide us toward specific interests (Brennfleck & Brennfleck, 2003). In order to gain an idea of the female undergrad student I would need to ask her some questions about her interests and strengths she can best identify with to determine a suitable professional degree and field to work toward. For instance, I have had strong interests in learning about myself, how others think and solve problems. Strengths that I was able to identify with include effectively communicating with others, being flexible, a desire to help others and having a positive attitude.
