What's after college?
I don't know what to do after I obtain my degree. Finding a job would be ideal, but where do I start? Should I already be in touch with companies or should I simply apply to some? Should I find a job to keep income steady while I search for the position I desire? I have many questions such as the aforementioned, but what would you suggest? #career #after-college #life-choice
Should I choose the job I love or the job that makes me money?
Looking back at my 16 years of life, I would have never thought I would have to choose between doing what I love and making money. As a little girl, I always dreamed of being a teacher. I looked up to the agents of change at my school and appreciated all of the things they do for me and the other students. For as long as I remember, I have gone to the local dollar store to buy teacher supplies to use to teach my "students" at home. I kept all of my old workbooks and homework from previous years to reteach lessons to the invisible kids sitting on my bedroom floor. (I don't know if that's creepy or not) As a first-generation U.S. citizen from the Philippines, my father has always disapproved my love for teaching. He would tell me that he didn't come to America to work his butt off and raise a child that would make a lower salary for the rest of her life than he makes now. I have to say, I am smarter than the average student. I get all A's and the occasionally B once in a while as a high school student. I am in the top 10% of my class and in my opinion, I could definitely get a high-paying job in the future. My father knows this and doesn't want me to waste my intellect on becoming a teacher. I understand where he is coming from and would tell my own kids the same, but I believe my true calling is becoming someone who inspires, molds, and teaches others to strive to be the best they can be. I will be a junior in high school in the upcoming school year, so I don't have much time before I will attend college. Please let me know what you think it is best to do and add in any experiences that you have had regarding this life-changing choice. #money #career-choice #future-careers #financial-risk #life-choice #financial-planning #career-details #personal-development
