everything, but to do something."

Being a
criminal profiler and forensic psychologist is all I have ever wanted to do
with my life. I realize that recently my
career choice has started to become very popular. But, I decided this not just
because of the false glamour that many of today’s television shows now advertise,
but because it is something that I know I would love to do and be really good
at. Well some may be curious enough to ask, “How exactly do you know that?” I
know this because my personality is best suited for a career in this particular
field. It takes a special person to be able to deal with the tragic deaths and gruesome
crime scenes seen every single day in this field of work, and I know that I
could handle it.
I also plan on choosing this career because it
is a very rewarding one, in which my love of science and psychology can be
applied to help solve crimes and convict criminals. It is very beneficial to
public safety, public health, and the overall good of society. At the end of
every day, I will be able to say that I tried to make the world a safer and
better place. I truly believe that this is my “something” to do in the world.
So now I encourage you to think about this and ask, what is your something?
I think this is a really great concept that a lot of college student struggle with. Do what you love or make money? If I could pick any job in the world I would be the curator for a great museum like the Met, or the Louvre. However I also know that Art History majors don't make nearly enough money unless you have one of those ideal jobs. I’m not a fan of the uncertainty of that career path, but I want to do it anyway because like you said it is what I love.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's intense. Your lucky that you have a strong idea of what you want to do. I've already declared my major and I'm still floundering. Some people have no idea what they want to do and they're graduating this semester. It's good that you don't have to deal with that stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat is really great that you already know what you want to do. It makes your time here at college so much more efficient. It is near impossible to see a freshman roll into college and already know what they want to do. Kudos!
