Career Day/My Future

11/15/2016

My current interest lay in Genetics and nuclear power. I have all A’s and B’s with about a 3.66 GPA average. I plan to be a Molecular Genetic Engineer or a Nuclear Engineer.
Before our career day I thought that life was a lot easier, but now I know that college has very big debts and that there are more jobs out there that aren’t big news but are important and pay a handsome salary. I didn’t know how much a simple house would cost or that many things that are just little dots in the background actually cost a lot of money.
The first thing that I have to look up to my parents for is stress. No matter who you are or what you do, stress is a big problem, such as my reality store job. My reality store job was an Air Traffic Controller, and it is said to be extremely stressful. I learned that life is a lot harder than I thought it was. I also learned that you need to plan for everything as best you can because if you don’t, you’ll be in debt or unbalanced before you know it.
I learned from the afternoon speakers that there is a lot of paths to reach a career, and that sometimes learning something other than exactly what your job is can help get you a job, such as alongside forensics, take chemistry because it is involved with forensics but is not directly forensics. I used career day to get advice on which classes to take in college, how to boost your job chances, and just how easy life actually is.
