What kind of person will I be？
——My possible career opportunities
I was surprised to see such an amazing web site, which offered me two careers That I really enjoyed.
but there are some things that I have a hard time overcoming right now.
The first job that this amazing site recommended to me was Design Director.[picture1] According to sta
tistics, 76% of people in similar occupations are women, which is good because maybe I can find a girlfriend who shares my hobby. In my opinion, this major really meets my e
xpectations. As a creative and talkative person, I often have some wild ideas in my mind, such as Some furniture with fresh appearance and convenience function. However, my major now is economics. The major itself has a lot of variability, which means that whatever I want to do in the future, some economics will help. In terms of salary, When I searched salary information, I was very happy because the salary was unexpectedly high. The average income for this occupation is $96,285.
It should be a lot of money anyway. At least it is too much for a college student. However, as far as this career is concerned, The chances of turning this career into a reality are slim. Indeed, because my mother is a university art professor, I was born with a better aesthetic and painting ability, but there are no opportunities to develop these abilities. In other words, I did not actively cultivate my talent in the field of art, but just turned my love for art into an interest. For example, my major in the first semester of my freshman year was not really economics, it was biology. I have the strongest interest in biology, but I have experienced half a year’s study.
It turns out that a lot of things can’t be done just by liking. The truth is much more detailed than is commonly supposed. I like biology because I like to observe the behavior and living habits of animals, but there is inevitably a lot to learn about biochemistry, microbiology, pathology, molecular biology and so on that is very difficult to understand. After a struggle in the next semester, I think sometimes a person’s interest does not have to be cultivated into a person’s career, and it is better to exist as an interest more often.
The second job recommended by th
is website is Interior Designer. [picture 2] In my opinion, the nature of this job is the same as that of Design Director. Therefore, in my opinion, this job is indeed likely to become one of my future jobs, but it was also inevitable that I would have to take a lot of art classes. There does not s
eem to be any connection between the economics I am currently studying. The essence of economics is the rational allocation and utilization of resources, while the essence of interior designers may be more about the design of furniture and interior layout. In addition, the average salary offered on the site is not as high as that of the Design Director at $49,474. Of course, in my opinion, salary is important. As a student from a family, I am not very rich. A well-paid job is very important to improve my parents’ living standard as well as mine.
