Dream Careers- Chrisna Men and Ms. Lay

With the struggling economy we have today would you suggest students to still work towards their dream career or look towards a more practical path?

I think that the teacher’s opinions or thoughts on what career field the student should be in shouldn’t have a huge influence on the student’s final choice. Instead, they should think about their interests and allow themselves to learn more about what it takes to achieve their dream job. During this process, students are able to see the struggles, hard work, and education they have to go through in order to succeed in their future goals. However, they also see a path in their life in which they can finally work in an environment where they can feel comfortable and bring out their talents. For a lot of students, school is probably one of the very few places that they can reveal their talents and interests, and not feel pressured to go into something they dislike. Teachers are able to help students by guiding them through the learning process until the student can finally make their own decision. Most likely, it will be a long journey, but seeing their students accomplish their goals and succeed in life shows hard work doesn’t go to waste.

I urge you all to go with your heart and follow your dreams. Money is important to live, but you can’t take it with you when you die and you will always wonder what could have been. I believe that if you go into a job for the money, you can’t buy happiness and you’ll eventually quit. Talent and dreams exist because each person has been given a gift that not only makes them happy, but is a contribution to society. When you have faith that you are doing what you were meant to do, all the money you need will be there.
