Essay
After high school, when I first started college I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do with my life at the time, but I had planned to be a business man of some sort and get my degree in business, then I realized that in today’s economy most new businesses are not that successful, plus you need money to actually start up a business on your own. So I did some thinking and have decided to get my degree in science and become a pharmacist. The reason I choose this field is because they get paid quite a bit annually, they are in demand as well as doctors and physicians assistants, so you wouldn’t have to worry about losing your job due to having too many of them. If I go through with becoming a Pharmacist, I would want to work at a big building of some sort, for example, a hospital, or somewhere besides a drugstore like Walgreens or CVS. The only thing as of now that I wouldn’t like about being a pharmacist is the fact they have to stand on their feet most of the day, which I wouldn’t mind if I could actually walk around to different areas of my workplace. Also the fact that what they do is going to be the same every day. If I decided not to become a pharmacist, I would probably think about being a physician’s assistant. My reason for that is because they also get paid well, you could learn and experience a variety of different things in that type of work, and their duties can change on certain days since they are assisting the actual physician. I don’t like the fact that a physician’s assistant will never be independent, and that they might actually have to operate on people.

    Becoming a pharmacist allows you to have a flexible working schedule. If you are someone who loves taking control of your own time then this is definitely a good career option for you. Being a pharmacist it’s up to you to choose what time you would want to work because there are different schedules depending on where you’ll be working. For example there are drug retail stores that have the routine 8-hour schedule, but that’s just one option. Other than that you may also consider being employed by other companies that allow you to have 7 working days for at least 12 hours per shift. If you do the 12 hour shift you would have the option of either…

    I have not always wanted to be a pharmacy tech, I changed my major at least 4 times already. My college years started and stopped a few times since I graduated from high school. I left college the first time and joined the Marine Corps. I served in the Marine Corps for eight (8) years as a Communications Operator. The problem for me there was that I did not want to pursue a career in communications. While I was serving I took some college level course and that is where I went through two of my four college major changes. Some might see that as indecisive, I saw it as trying to find the right fit for me. I have since gotten out of the military and went back to school, since I have begun this new path in my education I have also changed my major twice. I went back to school…

    Most college students desire to get into the health care field but many are unsure on which course of action to take especially when professions such as the Physician Assistant might look very appealing. Some might consider the traditional doctor option but cannot commit to the long and strenuous years of work to become a doctor. The profession was created in the late 1960’s to mitigate the shortage of primary care physicians. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, physician assistants are set to grow “30% from 2014 to 2024, which is much higher than average”. The Physician Assistant profession can be a great alternative in the health care industry based on years/rigor of undergraduate course load, and the benefits to society.…

    I am interested in pursing the major I chose above because I have developed a passion for medicine through my own health obstacles. I suffer from Chronic Migraines, which has caused me to spend a great deal of my life in doctor's offices. Positive experiences with my doctors lead to me idolizing them as a young child; so much so that I memorized the every bone in the body at the age of five. This passion stayed alive and well as I grew older, however my admiration began to transition from the doctors themselves to the subject. This all stemmed from my own health; I wanted to know exactly what was happening with my body and why. Now, I want to dedicate my life to the subject and possibly be the doctor that inspires someone to discover their…

    It was a job that resembled that of a Doctor but in a way, that better suited the route I wanted to take with my future. I could have the flexibility to switch between specialties like Emergency Medicine or Obstetrics and Gynecology. I would work in collaboration with a Physician which is also a great concept. Once I knew that and researched how or what was the best way to take the first steps to becoming a Physician Assistant I read that it was choosing a major that stood out to the admissions council. I started off with the school I want to go to which is UIC, and then I looked at the degree program list and saw “BS in Rehabilitation Sciences” and thought it was interesting…

    My ideal job is being a pediatrician. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, “General pediatricians provide care for infants, children, teenagers, and young adults. They specialize in diagnosing and treating problems specific to younger people. Most pediatricians treat common illnesses, minor injuries, and infectious diseases, and administer vaccinations.

    Registerd Nurse

    I have always been the “caretaker” in my family. If someone were hurting, he or she came to me and told me his or her symptoms, and I did my research and told them what I thought about it. Before that, when I was about three years old, I took care of my newborn baby sister. My mama was sick, and my step dad was at work, so I took care of my sister. People ask kids what they want to be when they grow up, and they always get some crazy answer like a movie star. When my mama asked me, I said a doctor. I have since learned that doctors do make a lot of money, but they spend most of it on insurance. My career goal has changed; now I want to be a nurse of some kind, but it is still in the medical field. My grandma said that I like school so much that I will not stop going until I become a doctor. She was right about many things, but I am not so sure about that one. A Registered Nurse (RN) is a good career with a wonderful history, and a nice salary, but you need specific qualities to be an RN.…
