Creating a Job that Leads to Success

Creating a Job that Leads to Success There are many job opportunities waiting to be filled, but it is important that I sift through those opportunities and decide what the best fit is because it is one thing to be hired for a job, but maintaining and succeeding at that job is an entirely different subject. In addition, before I start a career in a certain field, I need to make sure there will be a continuing need and that there will be opportunities to expand and develop. That is how I will “create a job,” as opposed to just “getting a job.” Throughout history, there have been many examples of people who have succeeded in “creating their job” such as many of the great inventors like Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Albert Einstein, and many others. These people saw unmet needs in society and met them through their ingenuity and hard work. Other business people like Andrew Carnegie, Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and others took advantage of opportunities to grow and develop their businesses into huge corporations. In addition, the great political leaders of America utilized their situations to propel themselves forward in their careers. Complimented by their diligence and ability to fulfill needs, these people knew themselves and used their natural abilities to their advantage. In the same way, I have been blessed to go through a career counseling course that has assessed my natural abilities so I can choose a major that would be a good fit and that I would enjoy. As a result, I have found that construction science would be a great fit because I greatly enjoy working with my hands and seeing the fruit of my labor. At the same time, I think in more concrete terms as opposed to the abstract and theoretical. I have always been interested in construction through my time volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. In addition, what

makes it a great career is that there will always be a need for the construction of new buildings and other structures simply
