My Current Career Aspiration
Writing an Essay
Choosing the right career path can determine how successful you are in life. It’s very possible to change your mind several times before you find the career that works for you. Over time my career interests have changed with a wide variety from my childhood ideal career, the different careers I’ve previously attempted in the past, and my current career goals.
Looking back on my childhood ideal career of becoming a veterinarian seems kind of silly now. Watching my childhood cat “Mrs. Kitty” go through her pregnancy and having her kittens allowed me to become more interested in the ideal of being veterinarian. I have always loved animals and felt the need to take care of them. I even volunteered at the Springdale animal shelter at one point. Just as my childhood is behind me so is the veterinarian career.
In the past I’ve considered a couple different careers in Baking or as a stay at home mom. Baking is something I have always been very passionate about. Creating my very own recipes and cake decorating is “Icing on the cake” for me. I have considered a career as a stay at home mom as well because my mom stayed home with us growing up. Without my mom’s presence, my siblings and I would have had less supervision potential danger. These are just a few career options that weren’t the right path for me.
My current career aspiration is to complete a degree in paralegal studies and then eventually become a lawyer. Currently attending school to be a paralegal because it is a good first step towards becoming a lawyer. After earning my degree I can work my way through law school as a paralegal. Hope to gain relevant work experience, and references that will help advance my career as a lawyer.
Career possibilities and interests change overtime from childhood to present day including everything in-between. From my very first career goal as becoming a veterinarian to completing my current goal as becoming a successful lawyer. Don’t get discouraged if it

    As children, we do not fully understand the responsibilities associated with our dream job, so we say we want to be a doctor or firefighter because we only think of being heroes. We do not see the negative side. Now that I am in high school and can look at all sides of a career, I think that being an occupational therapist or elementary school teacher are possible future careers for me. Although these careers require similar personality traits, they are very different in education, salary, and work environment/schedule.…

    I have chosen to follow my passion and pursue a degree in the field of law. I would like to either practice as a criminal defense lawyer or a family law attorney.

This path was inspired by the Independence Youth Court, a diversion court which I volunteer with. As a volunteer for the past…

    My present position is a Marketing professional which is one of the career matches under the artistic personality type. I love what I do and the freedom in which it allows. My job allows me to be me and express myself. In the end I intend to obtain my degree in the healthcare communication and marketing field. I feel that I have finally found my niche. I feel being satisfied and loving what you do will show through in your personality, the way you handle yourself and the way that you interact with others. I am more confident and relaxed when doing what I am passionate about. I have had many clients say to me that they chose my service because of me. They could see how much I believed in it and it made them comfortable enough to make the decision to move forward. Choosing the right career makes all the difference. Money is part of the factor, because we need it to live, but passion is what will ultimately drive you forward. Whereas just the opposite happens if you take a job you hate. The money may be…

    Everyone is asked one question, at a very young age. That question is: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” There isn’t a time I can remember when an adult didn’t ask me this question. When I was six, I would respond with the usual movie star, fashion designer, or veterinarian. My answer would be said confidently, as at this age I walked through life as if it were no big deal. My answer occasionally changed to fit with my many childhood phases, but my view on the question stayed the same. When I was a child, I replied to this inquiry the same way everyone else did; I answered with an occupation. It took me years to discover my new approach to this question. My new response did not include my dream job, but how I saw myself in the future.…

    If we had to pursue one of the first ten occupations we had ever imagined being as a child then I can guarantee you that I Veterinary Assistant wouldn’t have made the cut. As a child I was allergic to cats and afraid of most animals. With time I grew out of my allergies and became exposed to more animals to reduce the fear. My kid I only owned fish and frogs, and you can’t exactly do much with either of those animals so all I knew were caged animals at the zoo and my house.…

    After Graduate School, I hope to have my PhD in psychology or my doctorate in psychiatry. I would like to start out working in jails, talking to criminals and analyzing their brains versus the brain of an average adult to study how the brain reacts with criminal activity and why they do and feel what they do. I have heard that a person can not do that type of work for very long because it is emotionally tasking so after that, I would like to open my own counseling practice up. I would do either marriage and family therapy or focus on teenage depression. Eventually, I would like to retire into school psychology or become a psychology teacher. Also, if I ever have enough money, I will buy a house devoted to taking in stray animals…

    When I was younger, I would always tell myself that I want to be a pediatrician because I loved dealing with babies. Little did I know you have to work with them from newborn to 18 years of age.

    Ever since I was younger, I’ve had a large imagination, filling up my days dreaming up endless scenarios of the future. Thinking of possible careers was never a problem, but choosing out of the many life paths I wanted was. I alternated between wedding planner, creating a notebook filled with torn out pages of poofy dresses and possible wedding locations; author, stuffing short stories and poems into a floral folder; and psychiatrist, researching the process to become a doctor. The thought that these may not be options for me never crossed my mind. I only knew I would do whatever I could to live out the future I saw in my mind.…

    When it comes to my education my short-term goal is to finish out this school year and maintain my current GPA. I find it easier to motivate myself each day if I have set in stone grade goals in mind. My long-term education goal is to finish my Associate of Applied Business degree in spring 2017 and my Associate of Arts degree in spring of 2018. I have enough classes and credit hours to finish a second associate degree in two part-time semesters. My short term career goal is to continue where I am until I graduate and learn as much as I can from those around me. I find that the people around me at my current jobs are very intelligent and it would be wasteful of me to not learn what I can from them before I move on. My long-term career goal…

    The career that I have chosen to pursue is Human Resources Management. When I started out on the path of “what I want to be when I grow up” I started in a completely different line of work. I wanted to be a Nurse when I graduated high school. I enrolled in college and I worked at a children’s hospital. After a while I started getting burned out by working long hours and on the weekend and I started to wonder if this was the right career that I wanted to continue with. I was offered a position at a staffing company that tailored to physicians and nurses and I knew right away that I loved being in an office rather than taking care of patients.…
