I chose to attend Stockton college because I believe as a liberal arts college, Stockton would help me select the path I would take in the future. My goal is to take a variety of classes, which will open up two paths for me. The first is to discover a new variety of subjects that may interest me that I have never before considered for a career. I have heard stories of people that go in with no idea what he or she wants to do, and then after sampling several classes, finally pinpoints his or her career.
The second path is to select one of my current interests for a possible career and get the advice needed to further develop my skills. I believe that is one of the key purposes of any college: for its well-educated and experienced teachers to pass on their expertise to the students eager to pick up the skills.
Both paths are vital to success in the real world, and while I plan to explore both, I also plan to eventually narrow down my career choice based on my studies.

ReplyDeleteI think you have a great plan of action for your time at Stockton. Although I have a set major of Psychology, I still have no idea what I want to do with it as far as a career is concerned. I've been thinking about college basically the same way you have. I plan on learning as much as I can about pyschology to help me narrow down some career choices, and also taking a bunch of general classes to broaden the horizon a bit. I think this is a great way to gain a ton of new information and help lead us down the path that's right for us as individuals.
