College provides us with the knowledge and credibility that employers seek in this demanding world today. However a huge debate has to be brought to attention if going to college and receiving a bachelor’s degree should be a requirement to even get your foot in the door or be considered for a job. An interesting point of view on the bachelor’s degree being a job requirement is in the essay “Should The Obama Generation Drop Out?” by Charles Murray. Murray is a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, has written on social issues and published a book in 2008 regarding real education. I think Murray’s point of views will change a lot of people and the way they see education as a primary resource to qualify to get a good job.
My belief is to have a aim in life, and work towards it, whether it be a aim in life to work towards, whether it be higher qualifications to better my job prospects or working towards bettering my career path, each is a great belief for me to acheive as this will be beneficial to my children and improve my way of life. While my Values and Beliefs are important to me I appreciate that not everyone values the same qualities. While it has not been an issue in my current position I could say that I may have less empathy or patience for people who are more work shy or don't work to my standard. It is important that i dont allow my beliefs and values to place a strain on my relationships with both colleauges and service users. Working in the Health sector, you are most likely to come accross people with views you dont agree with and some people wont understand your point of view.
However, I know that I will need this in order to succeed. I view the QRB course as a crash course introductory to Economics, Accounting, Finance, Operations, and Research. According to University of Phoenix Week Four Supplement, “The QRB course prepares you to master skills such as using time series data to forecast, construct histograms and bivariate plots using Excel, and conducting a linear regression analysis.” Without taking this QRB course, I would most likely be confused and frustrated. This would not be conducive to my future career goals. The QRB course is a stepping stone, as I will learn certain concepts and other necessary skills to exceed in the next few classes, particularly Accounting and
One of the biggest and most obvious goals I have set would be graduating high school. This should be a pretty easy goal to accomplish but I do need to watch myself in some of my classes. Some of the big things I need to do to meet this goal are improving my neatness, not being lazy and actually turning assignments, and trying to study as much as I can. The hardest of these will unquestionably be turning in my homework. I’ve always had a hard time turning in any homework and this is the year I need to start doing it.
Discipline, respect, maturity, knowledge, critical thinking ability, interpersonal skills, and confidence. Throughout all these traits we learn about them one by one by making mistakes and learning from them. The times we would disrespect our parents when we were young there were consequences for our actions. Growing up and getting older is part of life. Learning how to be mature but still fun and young hearted is a must to stay healthy in EMS.
Reflections of US/101 Amy Kelley US/101 Professor Eric Wright Reflections of US/101 When I think back over this class I have received a greater knowledge base on several different things but out of all of them there are a few that really stuck with me and will drive me to seek more information and ideas. The few that have made the most impact are time and stress management, integrity and ethics, and goal settings. When I think about time and stress management I find that I have always fallen short because I have always tried to do everything and there are a time when that is just not possible. After taking this class I can see how my stress level has been high and have found a few ways to reduce my stress as well as find time
When I decided to go back to school, knew that college would help me refresh my brain in certain areas that I may need improvement on. I also returned to school because I want a job that will fit with me. Since I have been out of high school, I have had quite a few jobs. The jobs that were employed at, I knew that those jobs were what I did not want to have a career out of for the rest of my life. So, after all the different jobs I had back to back and me not being satisfied with either one.
Like everyone who decides to return to school I would like a better job, better pay and of course a college degree. I have always wanted to return to school but never got around to it until recently. There were many reasons I decided to go back to school. One main reason is the fact that
I tried college right after high school but dropped out because I felt like I was wasting time and money. I told myself that when I decided what to major in I would go back and get my degree. I have been working as the office manager of a long term care facility and realized that my career path has reached its max potential with out a degree. My experience working with the accounts receivable and accounts payable and monitoring the financial process of a business has awakened my desire for more out of my career. At this point in my life I would love to move into the corporate level but need the college degree to do so.
Besides taking an AP Course in school I took a Political Science course at Hunter College. Political Science was another great challenge to overcome. Being taught by a college professor opened my eyes for the future and what to expect during my college years. The homework was tough and the tests were complex, but in the end I got my college credit. The Political Science program even helped me succeed in my schools AP course because it prepared me for future topics that I would eventually learn and most importantly the AP exam.
