Some crucial jobs like doctors, and lawyers require a college degree, on the other hand there are jobs where college degree isn’t needed, but that doesn’t mean one shouldn’t have one. It is expensive; however, if one goes to college, for a job that pays a lot like a doctor, that person will be able to make that money within a matter of years. If one would rather not go to college, they should at least get some kind of education. One should know simple math and english at the least! There are very little jobs one can get without any college degree, what do people accomplish from not getting any education. Within one’s family one might be known as a failure, or a disappointment. Nobody will take somebody with no education seriously. Not to mention people meet some of their long time best friends in school. Overall it is very important to get a good education; however, some people might think…
In Frank Romero's, "Going to the Olympics" painting has a lot of cool and interesting stuff in it. There are cars with hearts above them, palm trees, a blimp with "Goodyear" spelling across it and symbols of the Olympics. I see iron, two men fighting, a horse and a stamp. All of these are most likely related to the Olympics. The cars probably mean that L.A has a lot of cars, especially since it was painted on a freeway and there is a bunch of traffic on them. Especially on the 405 at nights, which makes me think that the cars mean a bunch of traffic in L.A.…

Many students today do not appreciate the fact that they can receive any education they choose. In America, we are free to select whatever career path we want. All we need to do is work hard and have the right mindset to get into the college of our choice. This was not always the case. Elizabeth Blackwell had to fight and continue to persevere to get into medical school.…
During the college years of a person’s life, some of the biggest and life changing decisions are made. The decision of choosing a college, picking a major, and then the pursuit of a career affect the rest of an individual’s life. College students often receive a great deal of advice, from many different people, concerning their career. There are many people that give the advice, “Do what you love,” while, in contrast, other people will give the advice, “Do what makes money.” These two pieces of advice are very conflicting and it brings up the argument - should you do what you love or what makes the money? For both sides of the argument, there is support and reasoning that is very valid and persuasive. By looking at the argument subjectively, it is difficult to choose a side; each argument has its pros and cons. I believe that there should be a balance of both. Everyone has passions and if an individual has the opportunity to turn his…
The issue analyzed by this paper is whether people/I should quit school because they think is a waste of time. For example, I have friends who have told me that they want to drop out of college due to the fact that their jobs they have and also because school is a waste of time for them. It is really tough to whether decide to quit school due to a job or because it is a waste of time so I wonder if whether I should quit school?…

In the discussion of A Life Beyond “Do What You Want”, one controversial issue has been, do we find a vocation that we love and are passionate about or do we settle for a vocation that we are good at and do it very well, but not love or even like? Dr. Gordon Marino, Philosopher at St. Olaf College in Minnesota, suggests that both are important, and it is the individual who must make that decision. Marino also challenges his students to think about what makes them happy. Marino further tries to equip his students with the knowledge to make an informed decision pertaining to the rest of their lives. However, on the one hand, a person must feel complete and do what he or she does well, but then again choosing a career and just doing it well isn’t always the answer. A person must feel fulfilled or the career and money does not matter. In conclusion, Marino recommends finding a passion, turn it into a career and work till it becomes doing something a person loves. However, on the other hand, Marino also states that doing good work to help the family or help others is selfless, yet very rewarding. In many cases, helping others is a fulfillment of its own and then it becomes a person’s passion.…
After reading Health Starts Where We Learn (2010), I would have to agree with the author’s thoughts on what they believe impacts our health. The environment in which we live, the level of education we achieve, our relationship with our work, and the importance of play all contribute to the health choices we choose. I believe it is important to watch what we consume, the amount of sleep we get, take part in physical activities, etc. in order to feel well both mentally and physically.…
For society a career seems to define a person. People choose to pursue certain careers for many reasons; salary, family, social status, security, and lastly interest. In most cases people chose a job based on income, although this may seem beneficial, it can destroy one's drive for life. Money defines some in today's society and the fact of being happy nearly crosses the mind when picking a career. Picking a job based on income sometimes is necessary but happiness and one's quality of life is also just as important, maybe even more.…

Keeping yourself healthy emotionally, physically, and spiritually will help you build; develop a happy, productive life. Studies were done and it was found that people who volunteer, go to church, or belong to a club are more likely to have better health than people who don't engage in social activities on a routine basis. This information that I read I found to be very interesting only because I guess I never realized how active someone can stay and be involved and you can maintain good health. People in this day and time have become so content with being relaxed in their own comfort zone they tend to forget how important it is to maintain adequate and good health. Now I do know there are things we can not prevent and if something was to happen with our health it would be up to us to try and maintaining it from getting worse or become nonchalant about it. The world today have plenty of individuals whom are not taking their lives seriously and that is why we have so many illnesses and people becoming sick.…
It is not, however, the only aspect of being a doctor. Being a doctor is like being a superhero. Human lives literally lie in the hands of doctors - this can be a wonderful thing or a terrible thing depending on the person. One bad decision can lead to a person dying and this is the aspect of the medical career path most doctors do not seem to talk about. Sure, the salary is great and it surely allows for bragging rights, but being a doctor is slightly terrifying. It is a job that demands a high-level of confidence and concentration. One should become a doctor with the best intention - to help people. If one becomes a doctor because they want to make a lot of money, there is no ambition to actually help people get better and more patients suffer because of this. Doctors are always needed; the job opportunities are not scarce. As long as you are good at what you do and enjoy doing it, a career in medicine will be wonderful in the long…
