We Must Complete Co Ops

All throughout school, students are ask what we want to be when we grow up. Many of us know or have a pretty good idea, but others have no clue what they want to pursue as a career in life, whether it be furthering their education at a university or attending a technical school. There are other students that plan to start work right out of high school. Either way we all have a plan, and the purpose of this paper is to inform you of mine. I personally struggle in making big decisions like deciding what to do with my life, but then I realized I have been asking myself the wrong questions. Instead of asking what I want to be when I grow up, I asked myself what do I want out of life? what are some of my goals that I wish to achieve? This led

“I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile” (Walter Chrysler). Deciding on what one wants to be in life can prove to be a demanding task. There are so many, yet limited, different opportunities in the world to have an excellent career and make a decent living while doing something one loves. It is limited because there are only a few specific career paths that someone could take to make good money. It is very difficult to make a fulfilling living being a garbage man. There are many different opportunities because, within these specific careers, there are usually various paths to take. Someone who has dreams to be a

In the first months of college, I wasn’t so sure if I wanted to pursue architecture, finance, or engineering; I was utterly lost, unlike many of my peers. Over the months, I pondered on what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Then, I realized I was never interested in obtaining a job where I would sit at a desk and stare at some numbers on a computer screen for 9 hours every day. Through my daily routine and utilization of time, I realized I found less joy in the courses I applied least outside of the classroom, yet was intrigued that with the many hours I worked in the studio. I could work on a skill in which I could use in the career I wanted; a path in which I could leave a legacy through molding the world the way I wanted to see

As a college student, I often find myself inundated with work. To make it worse, these assignments usually are uninteresting and irrelevant. It is in the midst of these tedious exercises that I begin to wonder whether all of this work is worth it. When this issue creeps into my mind, I think back to my reasons for choosing to pursue this profession. When I started college, I knew that I could not function in a typical nine to five job. The banality and predictability of such a career simply did not appeal to me. So that essentially ruled out any course of study which would lead to such an occupation. I also knew that I wanted a job that would allow me to make a difference in people’s lives.

Anyone who knows me, knows in so few words that I could best be described as a complex or better yet, imaginative person. I am a person that is easily fascinated by all things thrilling and prove to be challenging. Growing up, I was raised with the mentality that anything you think, work hard for, and plan for, you become. So inevitably, when I got informed about this assignment, I went big with my top five career choices and pushed the desires of my heart outside of my comfort zone. In today’s society, the occupational field is getting more and more competitive because of the high demand for well-qualified and rounded individuals. Education doesn’t stop after high school because after graduation no one will babysit your choices and tell you

Scott Dinsmore's Ted Talk was a inspiring Ted Talk one of the best ones that I watched. College students believe they know what kind of job they want, but when they start they realized they hate. Okay, now it's time to answer the question. The work that I can't not do is film. You don't need to look to far to be inspired all you have to do is go on Youtube and thousands inspirational videos appear. Thats what I want to do with my videos inspire people so they can do something great.

Jazz great Ella Fitzgerald eloquently said, "Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there's love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong." Many know what they enjoy doing, but few people take the opportunity to enjoy their passions and do it as a career. The zeal for what they love means people can spend hour upon hours appreciating and relishing the venture at hand.

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.

I personally love the fact that I can blog to Love Laced Couture 's customers. It 's like having a diary online but I get to read the responses you ladies leave and email. So Love Laced Couture has been open for business for nearly a month and it 's truly a learning experience. As a dreamer, you have this vision that you know is awesome but the hard part for me is putting the vision to work. For me, my parents always taught me that I could be anything I wanted to be. Well I went to college thinking I wanted to be a radio host. I worked hard in school and although I didn 't graduate with honors, a 3.0 was the highest GPA I ever had throughout my student career. I even got an internship with iHeartMedia, the same company that produces

The problem is that I haven’t gotten “The” idea, yet; the idea with which I can evolve into something real. So, when I heard “Ideas start here”, I knew that the University of Waterloo is where I want to attend. I crave to be surrounded by people who have the same drive for bigger and better aspirations in this world. I know that this university is the start of phenomenal changes in the world that I want to be a part of; that I want to lead. I have the ambition and creativity that drives change. I have the passion and work ethic to make my dreams come true. I have the strength and support I need to overcome challenges. All that’s missing is the right education in the right environment. I know there’s a long journey ahead of me, but there is no other university where I can picture myself building my future so clearly as

For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted a career in business. My father owns his own business and some of my earliest memories include being told to sit quietly with my brother as my father met with customers and companies. It fascinated me how everyday was different for him, and that he saw and dealt with an ever-changing group of people. Early on, this fascination with the flexibility of his job made me want the same in my life, and that desire never really went away. When teachers, peers and random adults like my dentist asked me what I wanted to do when I was older, I always knew I wanted to own my own business. With this career goal in mind, I entered senior high school already searching for the perfect university to attend.

Talking to other people about my future career was a fantastic way to deal with my doubts. To me, nothing feels better or is more reassuring than hearing “I can see you doing that” after

I have found my dream job, Chief Financial Officer of Tesla. Now all I have to do is follow the plan. I believe if I have an end goal it will help prevent time wasting trying to get to the top. This may be the reason why I was going crazy, I needed to identify what I want to work towards. Some of my friends tell me that they have a lot of time to decide, but I was the only one who realizes the clock has already started ticking. I created goals and strategies to maximize my return from my college education and future. And the only way I got to where I am now is connecting with those in the accounting field. Asking them what they did and how they got to where they are today, and how can I do better. Life is a race, and everyone is not a

As the day of graduation creeps up on me, the future of college and life thereafter follows closely like a lion cub learning to hunt. In high school, the talk is always, “What are you doing after high school? Where do you want to go to college?” and all I can think of is what is for lunch! It’s difficult to plan ahead for the future when you want your future to be filled with opportunities that span across the whole career spectrum. There are not enough years in a lifetime, days in a year, hours in a day, or even minutes in an hour to achieve the titles I dream of. Choosing my future is anything but simple when I envision myself taking so many different paths.

Career planning is a lifelong battle that can be intricate for anyone who has not yet closely studied their true drive in life. After completing high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do or what route in my life I wanted or needed to go. At the time, I was undeveloped and living at home with my parents. I did know one thing for sure, I had to work and make my own money in order to pay my own bills and to stand on my own two feet as best as I could. I was not totally thinking about any long term career goals. I was still going through the point in my life of finding what I loved to do and was all about having fun and enjoying life. One thing I did know for sure, I loved to shop, then again what adolescent doesn’t. When I completed high school, I started out working in a very small retail fashion store and then, later on, went into several different food chains such as McDonalds and even tried waitressing for several months. Needless to say, waitressing turned out to be a calamity so I left that turf and never returned. After drifting from job to job for several months which in turn overextended into several years, I made a conscious decision that I needed to focus on a profession and stick to it so I took some time and re-examined my life and zeroed in on a career. I finally did that!
