Universities
The other day I went down to the career services building in the business college. I went there because I am currently a secondary education major with a social studies certification. The problem with that is that there are too many people trying to study the same thing to the point where there aren't enough classes, professors, or even seats in all the social studies classrooms to fit us all. So what our school has done is they are trying to persuade some of us to explore other careers within education. So I decided that I would look in to this a bit more because I am really interested in the topic, but I don't have all of my soul set on becoming a social studies teacher. When I went to the center I was given a big long questionnaire to fill out that gave the profiler a good idea of what I am interested in and what types of things I may like to do for a living. When I finished filling out the forms the woman came and took the forms in to her office, leaving me in the waiting room for about fifteen more minutes. She came back out and said she had analyzed my answers and came up with a list of careers. We went in to her office and she brought up on her computer a series of career profiles for me to see the possible jobs and future opportunities that go along with each of the different major opportunities that she showed me. Ten she explain the types of classes I would be taking for each of the major I expressed some interest in. At the end of the day I had basically decided to change my major to a major called education leadership. Basically what I will be doing with a degree like this is setting up schools and working in between all levels of the school system. I would be the moderator between the school board and the faculty. I would be the school rep going to the state legislators for grant money. I would help in the process of grant writing. All of the things she laid out for me that day just seemed so intriguing that I have completely signed on.
