James’s Answer

Wow. This question takes me back. Back in 2017 when I got into my current field of law enforcement, I was looking for a job that was challenging and fast paced. I saw a job listing for Loss Prevention. I read the description and was intrigued. I applied, and the hiring manager took a chance on me. Doing Loss Prevention made me fall in love with the field of law enforcement. From this, I went to financial crimes at the corporate level. I then enlisted in the Marine Corps to do Corrections. All of these were unique experiences that helped further my love for the profession.

Augusto’s Answer

Very good question!
- The first think I would say is important to take in consideration is identify your passion, what are those things that really make you happy and and make you feel a sense of fulfillment.
- Then you need to start investing in your professional profile on that area that is your passion. Look for education opportunities that can make you be competitive on that field.
- Networking! Start by joining groups where you can meet people that have a high level of experience and knowledge on your area of interest, so you can ask any questions you may have and guide you through your journey.

Rebecca’s Answer

Thank you for your question. This is a very common question to many students, same as myself when I was your age.
Below are the approach I have taken :
1. Think about my hobbies and favorite subjects and identify the related careers
2. Do some research on these careers and find out what careers I have interest
3. Speak to someone who are also working in these careers. Seek guidance from school career counselor, my parents, etc.
4. Short list 1-2 careers I would like to pursue
5. Explore the entry criteria of the relevant subjects in the college
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Kati’s Answer

I always knew I wanted to become a lawyer but wanted some real-life experience in the field before spending years getting my degree. So, I worked for a law firm as an admin for 9 months after high school to see what it is really like to be a lawyer. That solidified my decision but also showed me some areas that I eventually excluded.

Karizza’s Answer

I grew up watching Disney Princess movies, and I've never shown a lot of interest in any other genre aside from animation films. I also fell in love with Japanese anime so there's that. As I grew older, I realized my interest was more than just a phase and it developed into something else: Storytelling.

So, yeah. It's not an easy industry to pursue to be frank, but I believe "things that last are never easy" so I'll keep persisting until I end up working in a studio.
