What is one of the most important decisions you have made?
Why was this decision important?
Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.
Deciding for a major at university was probably the most important decision I have ever made.The major will better qualify me for a discrete career.
Directly and indirectly the career highly influences your daily activities, circle of friends, financial stability and the place you call home.
I had to consider all this factors to come to the conclusion what I want to do with my life.
Work is not just a part of the day when you are dedicating partly of your day time to pay the bills, afford a house and a car and seize the modern nightlife.
Time dedicated to work is the greatest on our day basis, so its activities should be appealing and interesting to us in order to keep motivated to work.
Not only work activities takes big part of our time, it also changes our personality.
Doctors, lawyers, engineers, teacher every worker might work the same time, but due to their work tasks, they have their life shaped according to their jobs inevitably.
Teachers might behave correcting other peoples mistakes constantly, while lawyers may hide the truth for their personal reasons.
Career means personality, in one way or the other.
Career also defines the place where you will live.
Petrol engineers are often sent to explore inhospitable regions for years, while programmers can travel easily around the whole world while working on software design.
Maybe your dream job will take you far from dream city.
Another important factor to be consider is the financial stability.
Choosing a major is a sort of bet, since some careers such as actors or writer might be inspiring, but they have lower chances to make a living compared to doctors or lawyers, for example.
In summary, deciding a major means a diversity of details in your life that at the end represent who you want to be.
I had to choose wisely and consider all these factors, even not knowing exactly, in what I was getting into.
But I am glad I choose Mechanical Engineering.
