Pursuit of Career #1

As we all know, every human being is entitled to their right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But every person has their own individual definition of happiness. Personally, happiness is maintaining healthy and caring relationships, without having to worry about economic problems. Defining happiness is the easy part, but knowing that the career you choose to pursue will ultimately play a massive role in guiding you there... well that's a lot of pressure. This single decision could define the remainder of your life and determine whether you will be "happy"or not. If you are now paranoid about your future career path (don't worry you are not alone), these are my list of factors that will help me (and potentially you) decide on future career options: expertise in the field of study, enjoyability, number of available jobs in California, and the salary; let's face it, this is probably the most important factor. Because I am unaware of the possible field of study, let's take a look at possible rising career opportunities with acceptable salaries and high availability in California. Through my research (a yahoo article), the best fit jobs would be a medical scientist or a biomedical engineer. Uhm? what? Basically, a medical scientist studies biological systems to achieve a greater understanding of health, and requires a doctorate or a medical degree. A biomedical engineer designs and oversees artificial organs and x-ray machines, requiring a bachelors or a doctorate. Well I guess I'm going to be a doctor after all, Mom (yay stereotypes!). In all seriousness, I don't excel in science nor do I particularly enjoy it, but I'll keep those on the back burner for now. As you can see, figuring out what you will do with your life is not going to be an overnight epiphany or a sudden thought, but an idea that is heavily contemplated and discussed.
