Deciding On A Career Path
They had told me that I should take my college courses based on what I wanted to do with my life, but how was I supposed to know what I wanted to do at 17 years old? The list of jobs helped a little bit. I was able to look at several different careers that I had never seen before. On the list of careers , for example, there were interesting wildlife jobs that I had never even considered. Although it might seem obvious now, it had never occurred to me that someone could make a living as a park ranger. I was pretty tempted by that idea for a while, but then my parents showed me a list of high paying careers. Even though I was young in age, I knew making money would be very important for my future despite how much I enjoyed being outdoors all day.
The first list of careers didn’t have salaries, but when I investigated the money that come from some of the jobs I was looking at, I realize that I wasn’t thinking right. As I perused the list of career choices and salaries, it occurred to me I was used to living well and I did not want my future children to lack for anything. After I finished looking over the career list, I began studying universities that could get me there.
At first, I wanted to go to an accredited online school . I figured it would be nice to be able to spend time at home, just hanging out around the neighborhood with my girlfriend. When I decided to be a lawyer, however, my parents convinced me that I should go to a full college university. Online colleges are great for many careers on the list, but are not geared toward working on a law degree. I went to a traditional university and the rest, as they say, is history.
