A Look at the Wide Variety of Job Prospects in the U.S

A Look at the Wide Variety of Job Prospects in the U.S Career Research America offers many opportunities; students have the option to choose what career they want to pursue. As a senior, I must research and choose what career I feel is right for me. There are so many career choices, but I feel that the best career for me to work towards is a registered nurse. A registered nurse is a great career choice for high school graduates because the education required is only a bachelor’s degree, the skill requirements can easily be met, and the projected annual job openings would give an individual no trouble in job hunting. The education required can be an associate’s degree, but a bachelor’s degree will give a person a higher chance in finding a job. With an associate’s degree, an individual will have approximately 38.1% in finding a job. With a bachelor’s degree though, an individual will have a 46% in finding a job. Work experience and on-the-job training is not required for entry level (careeronestop). My career plan is to enter community college for two years(free or not), transfer to UTHSCSA (University of Texas Health and Science Center San Antonio) for another two years, and receive my bachelor’s degree of science in nursing. This is really simple compared to a veterinarian. I won’t be in too much debt and I’ll be able to finish much quicker than a veterinarian would. According to Dr. Lorraine Barbosa, she took about 11 years to finish schooling. It took her not only time to finish, but also her free-time. She would spend her free-time doing inter nships and a variety of programs (truetometoo). Some of the skills required are the following: perform medical procedures, assist, assess, document/record information, communicate, organize/plan, establishing relationships(careeronestop). Some of these skills such as communication are skills that every career should require. I feel that I have well-developed communication skills. Some of the other skills like assessing and assisting can be done easily and efficiently. The projected annual openings for a registered nurse is 19% in the US and 28% in Texas (where I will be living after high school). Job opportunities are offered in many places Registered nurse is a very flexible career choice. Registered Nurse is the ideal career option for high school graduates who want a job that pays well for only a bachelor’s degree, require a beginner’s skillset, and is flexible in location. I am set on attaining a BSN. Register nurse seems like the best option for me so far. I have not found another career that fits my personality and aptitude so well.
