I m stuck on my next career choice and if I should decline this job offer?
This job I ve been offered is an Outreach job for a service clinic. The job is where I would call people asking individuals if they would want to change their PCP. Then if they say yes for the clinic, I pick them up and give them a tour around the facility and what would be available to them. It would pay $40,000 in salary. I would however be under the bek and call for when an individual would want to meet. Meaning if that person or set of people is free on the weekend to meet, I must meet them at the time they re most available. I m also a Christian who attends church and while this sounds like a great opportunity, it s hard for me to decided if it s the right choice for me. Be it that, I attend church on Sunday s.
How can I decide on what career choice is best for me, when I am stuck between two career options? I'm stuck between an astronaut and a military soldier.
As with any career decision spent some time learning about the jobs. What is day to day life in that job? What is the process and requirements to get there? Are there specializations of the job you should know about?Astronaut SelectionFor the most recent class of astronauts there were 18,300+ applicants for 12 slots. Only 120 individuals progress to the first round of interviews.As for “military soldier”, Which service? What role? The options are almost as wide as the whole of the civilian workforce. A Special Forces Combat Engineer has a very different job than a Psychological Operations Specialist, Intelligence Analyst, or a Public Affairs Specialist, despite all being jobs in the Army.
I am stuck between 2 career choices. What are some recommendations?
Well, if your goal is to work in Accounting, then you should most definately get your degree in Accounting. Accounting is technical and has alot of rules and regulations that you will need to know in order to advance to the top levels of the profession. More importantly, most certifications within the field now require at least an undergrad in Accounting, and in many cases graduate level work in Accounting. "Full disclosure," I got my undergrad degree in Accounting, and I also went on for my MAcc. So I might be biased. However, I think I understand where you are coming from with this question. I thought long about this when I was at the same position you are, and it ultimately came down to what my ultimate goal was. For me, I decided that I wanted to work for one of the Big 4 Accounting firms, then maybe after a few years transition into industry and then just go from there. I have since acheived those goals after having spent some time in KPMG's Audit practice, and now I work as a corporate Accountant. Looking back on my education there are couple things I could have done differently and still acheived my goals, but not doing an undergrad in Accounting is not one of them. Some options I could have done in order to get a "broader" education would have been to dual major in Accounting and Economics or Accounting and Finance. At my school, the additional course load to get either of those along with Accounting was only about an additional semester. I could have also got an MBA rather than a MAcc. If one were to do that though, they would just need to be sure to have the required amount of Accounting courses in order to meet their State's CPA requirements in case they want to sit for that. Basically, what you need to ask yourself first is "what do I want to do with my education", and then fit your education to that.
I am stuck in a career I don't want, what should I do?
Disclaimer: This is what I do for a living. I help people create a plan to transform their careers.Abbreviated version:You want to find the intersection of what you are really good at doing, what you enjoy doing, and what people are willing to pay you to do. If you are missing one of those, you won’t be happy, successful, or you will go broke.First, you have to understand why you aren’t happy with your current job/career.I’ve talked about that in this video. The last thing that you want to do is find a new job/career and simply recreate the same issues. Sooner or later, you’ll be unhappy again and seeking a career change again.Take some time to explore and define what a great new career means for you. There are so many factors to consider that it is hard to summarize. But, it depends on who you are, your talent and strengths, your knowledge and experience, your network and connections, your job history, where you live, where you want to live, and how you see your career evolving over the coming decades, etc.Don’t take shortcuts. Don’t rush the process. Unless you are currently out of work and need to find something quickly. Then, by all means, find a “stepping stone job” for now, while you plan out your long-term career goals.
Stuck between two choices school or work?
You're taking ENGINEERING! you should just continue it full time and not work during school days. It will benefit you in the long run instead of taking a job somewhere and get paid just above the minimum wage. Always choose school. There's nothing better than it. For sure if you get financial aid, some of it will be given to you..so you still have some money for yourself. Just save it. But if you really want to work while you're in school, then just go part time in school, and part time in your job. That should work. But of course, it will take a while for you to finish school. Just go to school. take a bicycle. Don't worry about having a cellphone. What year are you in tho? You've mentioned that you're close to getting done..so just stick with it. goodluck! :)
Parents don't support my career choice?
I have recently been looking into what career I would like to have when I'm older. I have been looking on all university websites at the courses and I can't find anything I would like to do. I had a look at a career website and I noticed beautician. I did some research and it looks like something I would really enjoy. I love everything about beauty and I wouldn't mind waxing or massaging other people because that stuff doesn't bother me and I think I would enjoy it. I found a beauty school and the course I would like to do and my dream is to open up my own beauty salon. When I told my mum about this she didn't take me seriously. But when I explained to her it was what I really wanted to do she said I could but she would be disappointed in me. She later on said she wouldn't be disappointed and she loves me but whenever I bring it up she gets really mad and says she doesn't want me to do it. I got A's in science and maths and B's in everything so they don't want me to "waste my brain" and would rather me do something more rewarding. But I don't really want to do teaching or nursing or any of those things because they don't interest me. But now I am starting to think I should because I'm scared I might regret my choice later on and wish I earnt more money and did something "more rewarding." What should I do? I'm desperate guys, please help.
I am stuck in my career. What can I do if I know lots of stuff, but I am not an expert in anything?
Most people who feel that they are afflicted by the "jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none" syndrome do not realize that they are in fact experts in at least one thing. That's probably because they don't feel it. Let's review what Eleanor Roosevelt had to say about this very human issue: No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.Henry Ford was a bit more candid about it:Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right.And here's the beautiful Lauren Bacall's take on the matter:I am not a has-been. I am a will be.Check out that look on her face. She knows she's an expert at something.It is important for experts to be able to present themselves as such. In this regard, communication is just as important as knowledge. You have to able to articulate whatever it is that you are an expert in. This is something that many Quora experts excel at. With this in mind, I took the liberty to edit your question and correct a few things such as typos, choice of verbal tense, subject-verb agreement, comma issues, etc. Whatever your strength is, make sure you are able to clearly communicate it.Look, I don't know the first thing about the technologies you are good at. Who is Ruby, and why is she on rails? That sounds uncomfortable... Anyway, you say: "I am not talented [enough] to become an expert." That's just not right, man; you are in your mid-20s and working in the intricate field of developing IT products. You have certainly accomplished more than I did at your age. Your bottom-line question is an inquiry about the career path you should follow or what to do if I were you. Out of all the skills you have, choose either the toughest one or the one you enjoy the most. Become an expert at it by means of learning, preparation and training. As Samuel Johnson said,"Knock the 't' off the can't." While you are at it, make sure you can clearly verbalize and write about what you are an expert at. I say you stay on your current career path, which seems to involve actually creating and developing things. Your next project should involve building or coding an internal app that boosts your confidence. This is paramount in the mortgage origination candidates I recruit for the top lenders in the U.S.; if they show up to the interview lacking confidence, they don't get the job. I know this sounds tired and cliched, but you just have to believe in yourself. With all that said, I must add that I have a pretty good feeling about you, kid. I think you'll be ok.

I'm 22 years old and feel like I'm stuck in life. Any advice?
sound like your putting obstacles in your way of achieving your goals for what reason! That is something that you have to figure out. Hope it is not fear of failure because we all experienced failure during our life times but the smart people make it a pint to learn from their failure so that they will never do it again. My first business venture at the same age as you are was to buy into a sports care repair shop. the accounting books looked good and l bought a partnership. Six months later we went broke. The books were padded, we had stuff in inventory that were actually on loan, stealing from customers and on and on. Over the years to make for my lack of accounting knowledge l took seven college level accounting courses l compensated for my lack of knowledge and be assured that will never happen again.
Medical Assisting--good or bad career choice?
Look into "The Business of Higher Education" before you resign yourself to a life of debt. I saw a documentary that exposed the horrible circumstances students were getting into when they attempted to become nurses, for instance. The school counselor led them to believe they would be making $25/hr when they graduated. However, their school's education never took them to a hospital. They were thousands of dollars in debt with student loans, which were financially crippling and the only jobs they got were as $10-13 medical assistants. What does that say for you? You aren't educated yet. These overly qualified nursing students are getting the job you want. And of course they would be the more desirable applicant with whatever education they did receive. Get yourself started on a more likely path to success. Save up to pay for junior college classes in required classes while you live and learn. You will most likely change your mind many times on your road to a career. Look up Zac Bissonnette's "Debt-Free U: How I Paid for an Outstanding College Education Without Loans, Scholarships, or Mooching off My Parents". I hope you have a successful life.
