Recently, our high school held Career Day like it usually would. I only made the last 20 minutes of it, but from what I could see it was the same old career day that I had been to a couple times before. There were tables set up with different companies and organizations trying to lure students in with candy and give aways in order for them to see what they have to offer. Students would walk around with a sheet to fill out about the people they interviewed. It was pretty straight forward. Our Honors English class took a different approach on it. We made up our own questions and surveys and asked the workers at each station in hope to get some great feedback that would help create reliable statistics.
Amidst all the hullabaloo I started to really muse over what career pathway I would go down. One can never be sure at this point, and I definitely am having a hard time deciding. It seems too early to be deciding what I want to do or be when I get older, but in perspective it really isn't because by the beginning of our senior year we need to practically be done with applying to colleges. That means we have to have a pretty good idea of what career pathway we need so that we can apply to colleges suitable for that choice.
Currently, I have narrowed down my choices for career fields based on my likes, dislikes, etc. I know I couldn't handle being in the medical field because I get queasy when I'm near needles or see lots of blood. I think that's very helpful. I'm not very "artsy" so it would be quite odd if I even attempted to major in something that has a high relevance to art skills. Other than that I am very open to many other careers. I find the ocean and environmental issues riveting, so that might help me a bit, but other than that I haven't experienced enough to even fully comprehend what I'm going to be when I'm older.
