I am interested in studying astrophysics because I have always been interested in space and celestial objects. I have decided to pursue this passion because of the money I can get having a job like this and because my mind is curious so it wants to see how far I can push myself to go and achieve this goal. Being an astrophysicist, means you study and write theories about space and celestial objects (www.space.com). If you were just beginning, on a daily basis you would have to deal with reducing spectroscopic data, reading papers, doing analyses, and attending meetings (https://astrobites.org). If I had this job my favorite part of the day would probably be going on the daily break and hanging out with fellow co-workers who I have befriended …show more content…

In those fields, you need around 8-10 years of education and experience (www.academicinvest.com). I plan on studying at a college or university like Harvard University or Stanford University because they both offer classes that would help me (colleges.startclass.com). After that, when you get a job you can get paid from below $58,850 to above $166,400 per year for the work you put in (www.academicinvest.com). This, of course, depends on the responsibilities, the size and type of employer, and the qualifications you have (www.academicinvest.com). Starting out, you can get a job as a Postdoctoral researcher and work your way to the top (lifehacker.com). Other than that, any extra expenses you may pay might include the room and board, books and supplies, or anything else you may need at around $18,312 extra (colleges.startclass.com). In conclusion, I would enjoy being an astrophysicist when I am older wherever NASA has a job offered because I enjoy creating theories and am curious about the wonders of space. Also, in my opinion, it would be really breathtaking to work for NASA as popular as they

With the possible careers that were given to me, most of them resided in the Science and Math sector, and agreed with the subjects that I am strong in. Ranking near the topic of possible careers for me were being an accountant, a physicist, a pharmacist, and an astronomer. All of these careers sounded amazing to me, but I’ll eventually have to pick one and stick with it. Moreover, I was already interested in becoming a pharmacist; I had done a lot of research on the requirements for becoming a pharmacist so I had a lot of knowledge, but the possibility of working in the physics sector seemed slightly more appealing to me.

In Adams’ quote, he reasons that there are two ideas of an education, one that gives skills and resources to get a job, and another that teaches individuals how to live a fulfilling a life. To me, this quote represents two corresponding outlooks on my own education. I believe that in order to be happy and successful it is important to take these two educations and maximize their potential. In order to learn to make a living you must take advantage of all opportunities in a class, internship, or extracurricular activity. Another major component of learning how to make a living is through networking, where students make social connections with other professionals enrich their present or future careers.

My determination to have a positive impact on the lives of young people was sparked from the inspirations of my own primary educators who played a significant role in shaping the person that I have ultimately become. It is clear that teachers do more than simply teach: they develop lasting bonds with their pupils as a mentor, role model, and friend and their impacts extend far beyond the classroom. Growing up as an introvert, I struggled with confidence in social settings such as a classroom but, through the support and encouragement of my teachers, have been able to recognise my true potential and enthusiasm for learning. I, therefore, personally connect with the struggles of more reserved children and realise the difference that an understanding

Nursing is a profession which appeals to me. I have volunteered countless hours at Palos Community Hospital, and I witnessed both sides of the professions of doctors and nurses. In those hours of volunteering, I realized that the importance of nurses is equivalent if not greater than doctors. Besides giving patients medicine and performing tests, nurses provide diligent care to their patients, and I saw this when my mother was in the hospital. The interaction that happens between nurse and patients fascinated me.

When entering college, I knew that Accounting and Business were my passion. It was a concept I could grasp so well that it seemed to be something that needed to be done. I knew I had the plan to go through college majoring in Accounting with a minor in Forensic Accounting, graduating with my masters degree and pursuing my CPA (Certified Public Accountant) certification. Although, there was always another way I wanted to take my career. I wanted to go into the real world and be a public accountant at first, but after I have had my time I would like to go back and teach my passion of accounting to students because without my high school accounting teacher who fought for the business program in my high school I know I would never have found what

A person aspiring to be an Aerospace Engineer will need a bachelors degree but can either specialize in Aerospace Engineering offered by some schools or go through a related field of Engineering. If one wishes to specialise the best school to go to according to the Best College Ratings (Compass) would be Massachusetts Institute of Technology, However that would run you $50,000 which is why many do not go that route. Many will go into Mechanical Engineering ,the broadest degree, and this will allow them to switch to something later in life if they lose drive for Aerospace. Now this may seem like a lot of money investment but according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the average pay is a whopping $109,650 while 10% make $160,290 and beyond (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Now you must be thinking this is cool and all but could I even find a job in this field?
