Landing Your Dream Career

Childhood Dreams

We all had big dreams when we were children. Some of us wanted to be firefighters, some wanted to be veterinarians, and some of us wanted to be superheroes. Sure, it’s great to dream big, but dreaming of a job is much different than dreaming of a career. Getting a degree doesn’t guarantee you your dream job. However, what it does give you is the knowledge you need to solidify a position in your dream field.

An idea that tends to take hold of people is that there is only one way to get the job you want. Still, there are many degrees that could lead you to where you want to end up. That’s why it’s very important to look into your desired career before heading off to college. Especially when the career you want is achievable after a two-year degree.  

Career Paths

While in college, you may be wondering what you can do with your degree once you graduate. You may have a career in mind, but one can never be too sure that the job will be waiting for you when you apply. That’s why it’s important to research your degree and apply at a variety of places. We’ll look at a few of M State’s degree options to discover what careers you could pursue after graduating.

  Nursing: Many people believe that all nurses end up in a hospital at some point, though that’s not always the case. A degree in nursing can also lead to a job in education or even within the government. Nurses can find themselves working for large corporations, travel companies, or within colleges and universities.

• Accounting: It’s difficult not to imagine being stuck in a cubicle after a degree in accounting. After all, many television shows and movies show accountants doing just that. Yet, there is so much more than can be achieved with a degree in this field. For one, you can find a job working for a non-profit organization, or you could even end up working for your favorite brand’s company.
