Hey all! Lauren here, and I am one of the Senior Interns for LACD! I am the graphic design intern and this is my first blog. So bear with me because this takes some getting used to!
As an intern for Career Development, I want to make todays topic about some questions that college students usually have when discussing their future career plans, or incoming college students when deciding what field to pursue. These are questions you may want to address before fully committing to one career path.
One example to start would be how much pay would I be getting in this field? You also need to address before accepting a job the ratio between how much pay you are being offered and the cost of living for the city you will be moving to. Be sure to do thorough research on this topic before accepting a job offer. Another example that mostly relates to incoming students is how much schooling will I have to go through in order to be successful in my career? If you want to limit the amount of schooling you will need, you probably shouldn't go to school to be a doctor or a dentist because those fields require extensive schooling after the basic 4 years of undergraduate schooling. You may also want to ask yourself if you will want to attend graduate school after undergraduate schooling. And finally a third example would be will you find this career fulfilling in the long run? Make sure you choose a field that you will be happy in and that you can be successful and reach your full potential. You only get one life so choose your career wisely!
