One of my career goals is to become a process operator. Before I graduate from high school, I will choose between the path on becoming a process operator or pursuing a career in Law Enforcement. The main career I am shooting for is becoming a process operator. During the summer of 2015 I attended Kenai Peninsula College for a three week summer program held by Excel Alaska. I chose to learn about Process Technology and see what it takes to work as a process operator. It was a great experience and I enjoy working equally with my hands and brain. I plan on attending Kenai Peninsula College to work toward an Associate of Applied Science degree in Process Technology. After college I hope to use my knowledge to work on the slope either
I was recently accepted into the Exploratory Studies college at NC State, and am beyond excited to hopefully continue my academic career at NC State University. Although I am currently undecided on my major, I've shown the most interest in math and science related subjects, and hope to pursue similar avenues of study at State through the Exploratory Studies program. I am interested in exploring different career paths that I may have not yet considered, and believe that this program will provide me with the resources necessary to truly discover what I want to do for the rest of my life. Although I currently do not have any specific career objectives, I am confident that I will leave NC State prepared to build a successful career, regardless of my eventual major. I am excited at how much NC State and the Exploratory Studies college has to offer, and hope to eventually graduate with the experience and knowledge to begin a professional career.
My career goal has always been to become an RN because I love helping people in every way possible and making them feel better. Becoming and RN will mean I get to do what I love every day. I know in order to accomplish my goal is to work hard to graduate from high school and go to college. Sometimes I feel like I'm not going to be able to make it but my brother proves me wrong by showing me so many ways I can achieve that
I enjoyed my week there, learning about computer engineering and the jobs surrounding the profession. During the week we learned about raspberry pi's, genetic algorithms, A.I., circuitry, etc. The possibilities were endless, while it lasted. I also gained insight on the lives of the army engineers and scientists that taught the program. The SEAP program would provide me with a deeper understanding of the engineering world and the army jobs that could branch out from the SEAP program.
When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be something that had to do with Criminal Justice. Why? Well because I use to watch a lot of those crime shows when I was younger and they always had my full attention. Plus my aunt is a sheriff so when I could I would go to work with her and I get an even closer hand on look at CSI work. So going with her made me even more interested day by day. At that moment I knew what I wanted to be when I finished high school.
After brainstorming and finishing Bolles’ questions, I discovered that my ideal career would be in a small organization, where the coworkers collaborate closely; it would be in a city with a sizeable population of people my age, where craft products and small businesses flourish. Likewise, the organization would be focused on providing a service that gives back to those in the community, hopefully combatting the cycle of poverty. In the organization, I would like to be coordinating people or events, and doing other behind-the-scenes duties that keep the whole place running.
I will establish my career working on the corrections side of Criminal Justice. Specifically working as a probation officer focusing on juveniles. I have long thought that I could make a difference in young people’s lives if I were able to get to them soon enough. By the time adults enter our correctional system the dye has been cast and it is much more difficult to get them back on the right path. It seems to me that keeping them on the right path to start with is a better approach. So, in five years that is exactly what I will be trying to do.
I may pursuit a career working in recovery or something with the police force. I was informed that having Behavioral Health as my major I am able to combine my profession. If I decide that I would like to work in the criminal justice field along with another profession that goes hand in hand, then I can. It is nice to know that I am not subjected to stay with one profession. I am able to expand to different fields and build up my experiences and career. It may be a lot of work but at the end it is worth all the effort and dedication. My mind is not made up yet, hopefully by the time graduation is here I’ll have my mind made
This program exposed me to Asian cultures in a way I had never thought possible. Living in an Asian country, even for only a week, and being mixed with students from around the world brought me face to face with cultures I had never before truly experienced.
The program administers great flexibility, which allows the fortuity of pursuing my dream career while still getting the work experience I need. The options granted by this program are one of the many reasons why I became interested; allowing myself to take evening, weekend or online classes. Going into the Human Resource field, this is something to appreciate since it gives me – a part-time student and full-time employee – the time to complete the program at my own
I would like to have a career in Psychology because most things about it interest me. I am not sure exactly which field of it I would like to major in but I have an Idea. There is about 170,000 psychologist jobs in the united states, so It sounds like its a reasonable field to find a job I am happy with. I realized that I wanted to have a career in psychology when I first started my psychology class in high school. Everything we were doing just interested me, it made me want to pay attention to what we were doing and really try to learn the materials. College will take me around seven to ten years to complete, I am going to major in Psychology with a minor or double major in Criminal Justice.
The career I wish to pursue is that of a stockbroker. I am extremely interested in the trading of stocks and financial holdings so the career of a stockbroker just seems to fit in with my overall plan. Numbers have also always been a fascination of mine and the trends of the economy and long term financial outlooks have often interested me greatly. Stock broking is a risky business that one needs to be prepared for highs and lows if choosing to pursue. You must understand what a stockbroker truly does to even begin to follow this as a life long career.
For a career, I would like to be involved in the fast developing computer industry and more particularly with the Internet. I think it has immense potential and I would like to be able to develop the Internet to make it help the lives of day to day people. In this way I would also like to help make computers more like humans with for example voice operated user interfaces.
My entire educational background has prepared me for my next goal: to obtain my master’s degree in environmental engineering. After graduating from high school I got accepted into Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. While at Cincinnati State, I took a wide verity of engineering courses like Geographic Information Systems, Surveying and Drafting, and Fluid Dynamics as well as Environmental courses like Environmental Sampling, Regulations and Permits, and Water and Wastewater Treatment Control. Although I only obtained my associates degree from Cincinnati State, I took extra math courses like pre-calculus to help prepare me to further my education. After graduating from Cincinnati State, I then transferred to Shawnee State University to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering Technology. Shawnee helped me expand my knowledge and I took engineering courses like thermodynamics, toxicology, and Into to Electricity/Electronics. Attending Shawnee State University prepped for the working world and gave me opportunities for entry level employment.
Five years after graduation I plan to obtain a master's degree in law enforcement. Right now I'am really not sure what I really want to truly do for the rest of my life. The only thing I like doing is finding clues and figuring out the criminal in mystery books.
In summary, throughout my life many career choices have crossed my mind. I have tried being a stay-at-home mom and a hospital employee. I am working on trying computers. The path I chose in computers is yet to be decided but the opportunities are vast. My current path leaves me many opportunities in healthcare and computers but the possibilities do not stop there. With further education I could still do anything.
