Career Intervention Reflection Paper

            Aware as I may become that the professional world is opening its doors slowly for us students, still I sometimes despise the idea of having to face this new beginning. I am a human biology student who’s currently applying for shifting to psychology. I want to be a doctor. I wanted to, let me clarify. And as of now I am confused. Having failed two subjects already and the fear of not having enough financial capability to sustain the supposed medical degree discouraged me to go on. And aside from that, I realized that I am not yet ready to give up the other things that I want in life. Such as learning a new language, blogging, watching plays and reading novels. My current course is demanding. It requires a lot of time and effort. It requires you full time. Clearly, I know what I want now. I want to pursue a course which will not have me put the other things aside—the other things which to me seems more important. And since I’ve been to human biology, my decision now is psychology because it would credit lots of subject I already had. Maybe I can work in the human resource field and pursue a medical degree sooner or later. I have a simple dream. To work and be stable on my own by whatever means that will make me happy. Medicine is not out of consideration though. I just don’t want it now yet. But it will always be the greatest of my greatest dreams.

          This career workshop did not just gave me the opportunity to grasp a greater view of the corporate world which is a lot different from the medical field but also made me imagine myself as someone who works in an office and made me think I am making a good decision. My favorite part there was when the facilitator taught us how to behave and answer well in an interview. It’s so enlightening because you get to know what to say and when to say it. And I always loved tips. It made me realize that in order to be someone worthy of a job, you have to be competitive and always believe in the best that you can do.
