...DEFINING A CAREER IN A DOWNWARD ECONOMY Kimoy Byer Saint Leo University MBA 525 11 Dec 2011 ABSTRACT A career should be attained in life is what we are taught by our parents, teachers, leader and mentors. The question of “what is it you want to be when you grow up” follows us throughout generations. We aspire to answer that question at some point in our lives. Job opportunities are constantly on the horizon. With the creation and expansion of new organizations new jobs become open. These changes afford us the ability to have a variety of jobs to choose from as we define our career path. For many years we have been told that education drives success and the more proficient you are in field the more successful you will be. Society and the economy constantly change along with its expectations. Our country is facing an economic crisis, people are losing their jobs, their homes and unemployment is at its highest. Is it necessary to continue on the path towards a career during a downward economy? Should we continue to focus on the notion that education will bring success or, should we adjust our goals towards daily survival? Growing up we all had professional desires. Our childhood imagination of what we wanted to become when we grew up marked the beginning stages of defining our career roles. As we got older those roles changed partly due to our experiences and society’s expectations...

Time management between my education and personal life will be a challenging responsibility as balance is needed. While taking advantage of every opportunity to use various tools and strategies available to help me gain knowledge and understanding in an effective way. I am taking steps to becoming a successful person and student through time management, hard work, determination, perseverance, along with accountability. Returning back to school has made me transition into a learning mode/mentality. The learning process is taking some adjustment as I have been out of school for many years. I know that I can succeed because I am motivated (Ellsworth, 1997). Some concepts and ideas are not always understood by me but I have found that I can begin to understand by reading, doing my assignments, and asking questions. Discouragement sometimes comes to me when things are not going exactly as I would like but I keep trying. This helps me to stay encouraged even in times when I want to quit or give up. I press ahead and stay positive. Although leadership may come calling without request, more often it comes to those who prepare for it by planning their careers (Andolsen, 2008). I decided to start planning my career by getting enrolled in school and research...

...The Ideal Successful Career Life Plan Growing up, I learned at a very young age the value of a good education, the safety that brings a good job, and the importance of hard work to advance in your career. When I moved to the United States, I set my goals to pursuing a degree in Business Administration in order to gather the knowledge necessary for a successful career.

Their tenacity and determination are what I use as a base in my own life. I am studying toward a degree in Business Administration. I am hoping to be a manager or a consultant manager at a well-known company so I can learn the ropes on how to manage a business.

...Furthering Your Dental Assisting Education INTRODUCTION With today’s economy, college students need to be completely informed with the chosen career path they are heading into.

Dental assistants work alongside the dentist to provide assistance during dental procedures. They sterilize and disinfect instruments to prepare materials required to treat each patient. Assistants also create a warm, welcoming environment for the patients before, during, and after treatment (United States, “Dental Assistants”). Additionally, there is a list of different practice settings available for assistants; group practices, solo practices, and orthodontic settings are available to name a few (“Dental Assistants”). In most states, dental assistants can learn their skills on the job; however, in order for assistants to perform more advanced functions, many states require assistants to obtain at least a certificate or even a license. Two year programs lead to an associate’s degree. These programs are...
