How do you know what career is right for you?

Question

Im at a community college but I want to transfer. I don't know where to transfer to. I know I want to go out of state but where? I do like Florida A&M University but what if I don't get in.

Answer 1

My daughter didn't know what she wanted to do after graduating high school, so spent the next year working in a resort community. After getting to know the police officers there, she started to look into being a police officer. She's now close to graduating from college, and is attending the police academy. What I'm saying is that many kids don't know what they want to be until they get involved with something. Then, their natural talents kick in, and they begin to realize what they're good at. So, look at your talents. What are you really into? What feels more like fun than work? I think it's great to hear someone say that they get to work at what they love and ,oh by the way, they get paid to do it too! When you're excited about your job, you know that that's where you need to be. Whether that's waitressing or wheeling & dealing with corporations, enjoying your job is much better for you all around. Of course, having ANY job now days is better than nothing. I guess you need to look at the reasons behind you wanting to transfer. Don't just go to a college because of where it's located. That can get boring really quick. Look at what they have to offer. Also, look at your own talents. Line up what you have with what these colleges have to offer and see what sticks out. If your grades have been really decent, most colleges would be glad to have you. If your grades weren't so hot, you might consider going to a tech school, and get trained for a specific trade. It's cheaper and quicker. Hope you have much success in your career choice. <*)))><

Answer 2

Don't go out of state unless you are prepared for the extreme costs. A school will double from $3K/semester for a resident to over $8K for a nonresident. We're talking crazy.

Next--don't worry if you don't get in. This isn't about guessing. Apply to many, many schools. And remember: you aren't tied down to a school, ever. You can ALWAYS transfer.

Try look at universities in your local area too--you're going to save a LOT of money and get the same education.

Answer 3

Nothing beats a failure but a try. Try to get in and if you don't brush your shoulders off and try to get in to a nother shcool raise your GPA and try again. The way i found out what career was right for me was by finding out what careers were not right for me. I know i didn't want to sit in an office all day, so Business was out, I want to help people but i dont want to not get any money so Teaching was out, i hate history so anything dealing with that was out. I did this untill i decided on nursing. Hope this helps.
