My future...

As a senior in college, I am used to being asked the question, "So, what are you going to do after you graduate??" Funny thing is... I still don't have a good answer! I chose to be a communication studies major coming in to school because I had no idea what I would want to do when I graduated. Not wanting to change my major and be in school for 6 years, I decided comm. studies was broad enough where I could have a range of options when I did graduate.

It is now that time for me to really think hard about what I want to do with the rest of my life... and I think I came up with a few good options...

1. I find it interesting to work with children who need special attention, so I have considered a job as a juvenile intake officer or probation officer. Both of these careers entail a large amount of effective communication and hard work. I think it would be very rewarding to help make a difference in a child's life.

or...

2. An ultrasound technician. When I tell people this one, most of them look at me like I'm crazy. They ask, "then why did you go to a four-year school?" And that's just it, I came to college to find out what I enjoy and I think I'd be great working in a hospital helping others. I would have to go back to school to learn how to be a technician, but it's always good to have a bachelor's degree as well. According to salary.com, the average ultrasound technician makes between $55,383 and $64,503.

While these jobs may not seem very similar, I am equally interested in both. Hopefully by May, I can decide which path I will follow!
