Mission Statements/Current Reality and Career Research

Mission Statements

Personal: I will gain the satisfaction of knowing that I achieved the fulfillment of helping others. I will also be able to give my family the life we deserve both financially and mentally.

Academic: I plan to acquire the degrees necessary to establish a career that will give me the ability to manage the care and treatment of patients at nursing homes.

Professional: I plan to make the nursing home environment better. I will provide the essential elements to change the way patients get treated.

Mission Statement and Current Reality

Currently my mission statement and my present reality only meet at one place, the fact that I care about the elderly. My present reality falls short of my mission statement but my goal does not reflect that. My goals are set beyond my current abilities giving me the first step I need to make my future a reality. I believe through hard work and a little time I will be able to get where I want to be and maybe even beyond. If you set your goals and that picture is strong enough your mind will find a way to make that goal a reality. You don't need to know the how you just need to know what it is that you want.

Career Research

The two careers that interests me are, working in Real State and in the Finance Industry. Real State is not easy as you have to know a lot of people in your area or have a lot of referrals from friends or family. First you have to have a State License you are in and that generally requires taking classes for at least one month, or depending on how much time you take to finish the hours. There are 75 hours that must be completed for State Licensure in North Carolina. It is not expensive but the training can be rigorous. You cannot miss any days from school. You basically can select any Realty office to train for Licensure. After you have earned your license you will work under someone that is experienced and licensed to get knowledge and also to make base for your future.

Employment outlook in my area for Real Estate is very good because NC is growing at an exceptional rate. People are moving from every state to be here. I want to be a Real Estate agent and complete my education in Business and Finance. A career in this field is good because the

state is growing fast and they are building lots of houses and villas. Having a Business degree also helps because knowing the market and having an education in Business is beneficial.

This career pays well in NC on average people without any referrals or experience make about $23K to $30K a month by only selling or buying homes. But the catch is that the house should be around $300 to $500K. There is the opportunity to make money but it is necessary to have referrals as well. My career choice is not new to the market. If you follow the rules and do a good job you can make lots of money in this Industry.

Having a financial background I will be able to process the loans and do everything for clients per their needs. Financial knowledge does play a major role after selling a house. I can also process mortgages but I will need a license for that as well. This field has lot of room for advancements. An academic background in Finance can help in a lot of areas such as working with the Stock Market, becoming a CPA and working in a Bank. Financial Analysts can make around $50 to $80K annually. In my opinion, both career choices suit me because I am an outgoing person with others; that likes working with numbers and pays close attention to detail.
