1. Here at the University of Florida I am majoring in Economics. This field interests me because I have always had an analytical mind which is needed in the economic field. A main component of the field is to be able to problem solve as well as to use analytical skills in order to make decisions. This aspect has always interested me because I find myself able to think clearly when analyzing and interpreting data. Though, I enjoy challenging myself which occurs often in the process of problem solving. I also am interested in the field due to the many job opportunities that the major presents because I value having options. There are a variety of jobs ranging from corporate to small business and even government based where titles include analyst, consultant, economist and research assistant.
2. Five years from now in my professional future I will just be beginning my career in the business field hopefully with an economic specialty. I hope to be starting a job where I can begin to obtain credibility through my work ethic and interpersonal skills. Through this job I hope to achieve upward mobility in the company I am working for and not be threatened by a glass ceiling. The company I see myself working for is the Central Intelligence Agency as an economic analyst. Yet, I always have a backup plan, so in five years I could also ideally see myself working for Boeing as an economic analyst sales support.
3. Before I graduate I need to gain a substantial amount of experience to
A: Finance affect the health of the economy, which impact everyone. Finance careers are growing. This also means that I will get more career opportunities when I graduate. So I decided to major in Finance.
Imagine yourself waiting to be interviewed for a job. You are probably nervous and wondering what specific questions will be asked, and may have even googled some usual interview questions to help yourself prepare to answer the recruiter’s questions. The recruiter steps into the room introduces themselves and starts asking questions. He asks you “Where do you see yourself in five years?” as this is a common interview question. Do you have an answer? Or does your mind go blank as you attempt to answer a question you were not prepared for. Whatever your answers to these questions are its important to always have some idea of what your long term and short term goals are for your future. I am being well prepared to answer this question in any interview by Dr. Marlo Kibler as a student in Dynamics of Leadership at Kent State University. By doing my action learning project I have learned the importance of, and how to make SMART goals that will carry me through my entire life. So now let’s take a closer look at my goals and how I am working toward them.
When it comes to a major I have narrowed my options down to technology and engineering, but there are many different types of engineers and careers you can go into dealing with technology. Doing research in this field may help me lean towards what type of engineer I want to be. I would be very interested in researching in Biology to better understand the material Biology comes with, such as soil science to better understand agriculture. I would be interested in researching Physics and accounting as both are math based. I have always loved math whether it is Calculus, Algebra or Statistics. Doing research at USDA will give me a better feel of having a job in a certain aspect of technology, which can help guide me exactly to what I want a career
In five years I intend to be happily married, and continuing to live a happy life as I am now. I intend to be planning a family and fostering the relationships with my family and my husband’s family. I will be involved in the community, helping to ensure safe environment for my future children. Regarding my career, I hope to possess a supervisory or specialist role at
After I graduate from Sam Houston High School, I plan to continue to finish my Associate's degree in Cyber Security and Information Assurance at San Antonio College in the fall. During that time I also hope to gain an entry-level position with a company that can make good use of the current skill I have obtained. Hopefully an entry level position within the aspect of Computer Forensics or Linux System Administration. During my time here I wish to continue with that company for a couple years to gain a well above average and lengthy experience and distinguish myself from the millennial stereotype that we get bored easily, give up easily, and move jobs every three to six months.
1. After completing a semester of field education, what are three reasons you would like to pursue a career in social work: a. One reason I learned that I want to became a social worker after our first semester is that it is a diverse career. My background and passion in life has always been working with the elderly population however, I accepted a position at DHHS working with foster care and child protective services. Knowing that this would make me more diverse and knowledge in different ways to future employers and for me. b. Another reason why I would like to pursue a career in social work is that it is challenging.
I am interested in the business major because I plan on using what I will have learned in this major putting it toward what I want to do in my future, whether it be continuing on my dad’s business or starting something of my own. I have been around it all of my life with my dad owning two concrete businesses, I know what it is like to have a career in business. From growing up around it and eventually working for my dad I have learned the effort, time and dedication it takes. Those are reasons why I want to go into a major in business, because those are all traits that I have and that would really help for me to succeed.
In ASU, my chosen major is Business Management through the William P. Carey School of Business. I chose this major because of my love for communication, leadership, and studies involving money. I really enjoy working with my dad who owns his own business and I take pleasure in understanding all the different processes within the business. Also, ever since I was a little girl, I have enjoyed learning about the economy and money in general. Another reason I chose business management was that it requires leadership, which has always been one of my strong points. I have experience leading and people have told me I am good at it though I know there is always plenty of room for improvement. I do know how to follow, but I am a leader at heart. I truly enjoy managing various projects and seeing them come together successfully. Because I think it is important as a student seeking a degree in Business Management to feel comfortable in leadership positions not only in the workplace, but also in other areas of life, one of the things I am most proud of is the fact that leadership is one of my strengths.
The college major that you select impacts the types of jobs you will be qualified for upon graduation.
In 5 years I will be 64 years old and looking for retirement in the next few years. Our economy will not support me trying to live on Social Security. A good part time job doing something I enjoy is what I hope to obtain. A good part time job making lots of money. If possible though in 5 years I will be sitting on my yacht watching the beautiful sun rise and sunset. That will only happen if I hit the lottery. That is why I am back in college to better myself in many ways. A better job shorter hours and something my age is not a
I am interested in pursuing a degree in business because there are a variety of job opportunities within the field. My parents also owned their own business, which was the main reason I wanted to pursue a business degree. I was inspired by their work ethics, and how they overcame their struggles and obtained success within their business and recognition in society. Originally, my major was in management. However, I have recently become more interested in an ISOM major after attending an Ask the Professionals event. This is because ISOM combines both business skills and IT skills to give you a unique skill set that is highly sought after in the current job market. My ideal job upon graduation would be working in a company like Freddie Mac where I can utilize my knowledge and work within a team setting.
Accordingly, with a major in either political science or economics, I plan to work as either a lobbyist, a planner or as a financial advisor for a major company or organization. I plan to prepare for this by enrolling in classes like- Economics, Political Science, and Marketing and International Business- to make me more rounded when confronting different sets of people or companies.
I always wondered how the job market was for students who decided to major in something else. So I wanted to do some research to see what majors are hard to find jobs for. I also wanted to talk to someone who graduated from college and is or did struggle finding a job. I think with providing this information to High school seniors that are still undecided about what major they are going to study will help them look at economics as a major of choice. Well first the job market is the market in which employers search for employees and employees search for jobs. When you graduate from college the job market could be small or big depending on the labor supply and demand within the overall economy,
Majoring in business is a really interesting and popular major to choose. You learn a lot of new things as growing into the business areas. You discover the employment opportunities, which is seeing what skills you are into and what are you more interested in. For example, some employment opportunities would be a retail trade, manufacturing, and wholesale trade. There are different types of business areas, which are
When developing a good five year career plan I had to ask myself where, I wanted to be in five years. This question would be critical for my future. When I was in school in thought, I knew my career path. I was convince I was going to become a nurse. As years past, I found myself moving away from nursing and interested in teaching. However, my transition would not be as smooth as once believed. According to Career vision, (2004), “for some people, the five year career plan may be a plan to prepare them for another job, for others it may be a plan to develop skills used in their current job. The five year plan is very much an individual plan, and is to be used solely
