Recommended: What is the importance of choosing a career

When children or teens grow up they wonder “What do I want to be when I’m older”? Most teens or children won’t know what they want to do until they are in high school. Sometimes it might even take longer than that. Most high school students will find hidden talents that they didn’t know about themselves which could cause them to do the thing they like to do. Some may like to draw and be good at that, and others that aren’t good at drawing pictures might be good at sports. After they get out of high school or months before they do the teens might know what they want to do. Then they have to get some thought about what college to go to. Some graduates won’t know if they want to go to college until they are an adult and decided to be a teacher or something that interests you. While I already know what I want to do which is to become a computer hardware engineer and go to Purdue which is close to Chicago. I want to be a computer hardware engineer because I’m good with computers and technology. Also I want to do both of them because I like to work with computers and in the future the technology for computers will sky rocket. Most people won’t work with their friends which many people want to do. Some want their friends to go to the same college as them so they wouldn’t be alone. Because many wouldn’t work with their friends; therefore, most of the people that work at their job will have to make new friends.

If the answer is, ‘ I’m not really sure what my strengths are or where I want to go in life,’ then deferring college is the better choice.”(Schlack 12), In conclusion Schlacks main claim is that if a student doesn't know what they want to do in life then college is not the right choice. In addition Schlack does introduce more claims such as the way he ends the writing, “Too many students believe this. School leaders can get out in front and help them see there are many paths to a successful life and college is only one of them.” (Schlack 17), Schlack has valid and explained claims throughout the article, that can alter the reader's position on the

  • College - Is it Worth it?

    1229 Words  | 3 Pages

    The main reason why people go to college is not because they want to but because they have to. Most high school seniors are pressured by their guidance counselors and parents to go to college because it is "the right thing to do." In the essay that Caroline Bird wrote "College is a Waste of Time and Money", she states that students go to college because " . . . Mother wanted them to go, or some other reason entirely irrelevant to the course of studies for which college is supposedly organized." (481) The student may have different ideas about what he or she wants to do in life, but because they think that these "mentors" know what is best for them, they probably end up doing something they do not want to do, resulting in being miserable and resentful.

  • College Education Purpose

    These eighteen year olds who had virtually no say in what they wanted to study in high school are now ask “ what is your major?” or better yet “what do you want to do for the rest of your life?” This is a big question, and most have no idea what they want to do. So, in a state of confusion they instinctively choose to study in a field that will benefit them economically when they graduate. Is this what a higher education means, to go through college fixed on the money? Or, is there a deeper meaning to it all, if so how can it be obtained? These are the sort of questions that need to be asked when considering going to college.

    Students differ in shape, size, color, and age. From kindergarten to college, many students are expected to follow a linear educational path regardless of life obstacles and other hindrances. Unfortunately, judgmental and oppressive eyes often intercept any deviation from this path. Lailah Gifty Akita once said, “You are never old to begin self-seeking.” A college education immediately after high school is not the correct path for everyone, as adult students have taken a rise in the collegiate atmosphere. This increase has intrinsically changed career options locally and globally.

  • The Dream Keeper, By Langston Hughes

    Whether that be our parents wanting his or her child to become a doctor because it’s a good paying job or the influences around us telling us to be an engineer or lawyer because they’re the jobs that make the most money. Even though those jobs are well payed, that doesn’t mean people will actually enjoy doing it. A recent survey suggests that when people are asked “What they plan on being when they're older”, they say either an engineer, lawyer or doctor but then they were asked “What would you be if you could choose any job in the world” and most of the people that were surveyed changed their mind and they said something different. The bottom line is to follow your dreams, and don’t let anything change that. If you let society choose your course, then chances are that you won’t be doing something that you’ll enjoy.
