It is hard to figure out what you want to do for the rest of your life. Your future career isn’t just a job, it’s a way of life. Currently, I think I have done well in my career exploration process and have a general idea of where I want to end up in the future. I know all of this is willing to change and fluctuate but I am sure I want to enjoy what I do. After completing this workshop, I learned more about the qualities that define me. The first one chosen was “realistic”. The website states that realistic occupations frequently involve work activities that include practical, hands-on problems and solutions. The second one was “social”. These occupations were stated to frequently involve working with and teaching people. These occupations also often involve helping or providing service to others. Lastly, I chose “investigative”. The website defines these occupations to frequently involve working with ideas, and require an extensive amount of thinking. These occupations can involve searching for facts and figuring out problems mentally. These qualities go along with my future career plan to be a Wildlife Officer. This occupation will require extensive outdoor work. I will have to work with others and work alongside the public. I will also be required to do my own investigative work and be a critical thinker. The O*Net Website recommend several careers for my code. The top five were -Forest Firefighters, Dietetic Technicians, Radiologic Technologists, Veterinary Assistants/Laboratory Animal Caretakers, and Cardiovascular Technologists/Technicians. My current career path does not appear on this list. The only career somewhat related to my interests is the first one -forest firefighter. All of this however, does not affect my current career plan. I personally have a difficult time taking these computer-generated tests nor will I let it change the career path I’ve dreamt about since I was 12. I have met with a few directors and faculty members and discussed my academic plans and have been told I am on the right track. I will continue my education along with obtaining experience, internships, and gaining outdoor skills to help my resume. I may consider graduate school but I will wait until I get a job and work for a few years first. I will search for a job with the U.S. Wildlife Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, or The Federal Bureau of Investigation. With the right mindset, anything is possible and my future career will work out.
