My Career Aspirations
In the academic world there are two types of people: those that know what they like and want to base a career off of that, and those that know what they want they want their career to be and base what they like off of that. I'm the type of person who knows what they want their career to be. Right now, I am a pre-major in Social Science and History Teaching. It is a program that you must apply for, and I will not be able to do so until the end of my sophomore year. This program is perfect for me in so many ways. Once I graduate with this degree, I will be qualified to teach the following: Geography, History, Economics, Government, Sociology, Psychology, and Anthropology. I have two career options in mind (and will most likely be doing both in my life). I feel that my career MUST be involved with helping people, but I know it's not with medicine, but more like being an inspiration to others. The first career option is to be a teacher and a soccer coach, most likely at an inner-city school. And the second option is to work with the government or NGO's in foreign/humanitarian aid. If I was able to get this job, I would prefer my "specialty area" to be Africa. My major is great for me, because along with getting the teaching degree, the classes I am taking are perfect for foreign relation skills and basic knowledge of such.
