You appreciate the perks of a permanent corporate job: stable income, health care and retirement benefits, as well as the daily interaction with co-workers and clients.

The FBI special agent career has five divisions; Intelligence, Counterintelligence, Counterterrorism, Criminal, and Cyber.

    The career I picked for this project is a Biomedical Engineer. Biomedical engineers are employed in hospitals, in research facilities of educational and medical institutions, in teaching, and in government regulatory agencies. They often serve a coordinating or interfacing function, using their background in both engineering and medical fields. When working in a hospital the biomedical engineer may provide advice on the selection and use of medical equipment, as well as supervising its performance testing and maintenance. They may also build customized devices for special health care or research needs. While working at a research institution they supervise laboratories and equipment, and participate in or direct research activities in collaboration with other researchers with such backgrounds as medicine, physiology, and nursing. Some biomedical engineers are technical advisors for marketing departments of companies and some are in management positions. Some biomedical engineers also have advanced training in other fields. For example, many biomedical engineers also have an M.D. degree, thereby combing an understanding of advanced technology with direct patient care or clinical research.…

    During my high school years, I was seriously thinking about being a part of the Military. I decided to go ahead and join while I was a junior. I completed my basic training in the summer after my junior year, than went to advanced individual training (AIT) after graduating high school. I wanted to join the Army because my father was in the Army. Since I was a child I have always wanted to be in the Military hearing everything that my dad talked about while he was serving. I had to think about many things to make sure I was doing the right thing.…

    There are currently two options I have, one, to continue attending Ivy Tech Community college for the next two years, and then transfer to IUPUI, or my other option is simply to just finish out my Criminal Justice degree at Ivy Tech. I have not decided exactly which I option I am going to choose, however, I am leaning towards the transfer to IUPUI. I want to have an excellent education when I start my career because I do not want to stop at the first job I receive. Coming out of high school, I had no unearthly idea what I wanted to do in my life. Finally, after the years flew by, and maybe it’s from watching too many TV Shows, it just kind of hit me that I wanted to have some type of law enforcement job. I love the hard work it takes, perks as a police officer, intelligence, the chance to be able to save lives, the work force you would be a part of, and much more. My goal is achieve multiple promotions at my career and be at the highest rank I can be. I always have in the back of my mind though, that I have started school at such a later age than I should’ve, that I should just go for two years, then graduate from Ivy Tech and try my luck in finding a job. Then, if I can’t find a job, or better yet, do find one and find out for some reason I would not be able to get a promotion for some reason, I could always go back at a later time to receive a higher degree. What I would want to get out of my degree is a wonderful career in law enforcement. If being a police officer is the best thing that I would be, I could accept that and be with happy. I would love to climb those ranks and maybe someday receive something higher than a police officer. Anything would do however, I will be working as hard as I can these next few years of my life to fulfill my goals. Not going to college right out of high school may just have been the…

    Ever since my first science class I knew I had a passion for biology. I would stay inside during recess and after school, absorbing all of the information I could gather about organisms from books and in the lab. I was enthralled and passionate about the world beyond my microscope and as I grew older, my interest flourished. When I participated in my first dissection in High School I became even more captivated by biology and realized that I wanted to pursue a career in the field. Originally, being a coroner had not appealed to me. It seemed more shallow and cold than accurate and cutting edge. Yet through research, I was able to get more of an understanding of the career of a Medical Examiner.…

    Future career

    • 685 Words

    When i think about a future career for myself, i see myself doing it for a very long time. In my imagination i picture myself as a millitary special forces officer. I have always wanted to go into the military since i was a little boy. The first time i ever heard about the green berets or the navy seals i knew that was what i wanted to do. I was told that being in the special forces was a very hard, but honorable career. You have to be very tough physically and mentally. My favorite thing about the special forces teams were that they are allowed to access the worlds latest technology and would go on top secret missions and save tons of people and no one would even know that the event had happened. The military today is a lot different than it was when I was a little kid. Karl von Clausewitz defined war as "...an act of violence intended to compel our opponent to fulfill our will In order to attain this object fully, the enemy must be disarmed, and disarmament becomes therefore the immediate object of hostility." In the future, we will have the prospective to make war without the use of violence and fulfill the second half of von Clausewitz's definition with software alone. "Cyber" describes systems that use mechanical or electronic systems to swap human control. Cyber warfare can be executed without violence and therefore the reliance on software intensive systems-cyber systems can make nations exposed to warfare without violence. With the escalating use of computers in military and government, there has been a growing awareness of both a new susceptibility in national infrastructure and a new method of attacking one's enemies. Cyber Warfare could mean winning wars without firing shots, the shutting down of entire national infrastructures at the push of a button, and the complete exploitation or destruction of an enemy's communication networks. It could mean threats from across the world by states with no ability to launch a conventional attack just by using cheap…
