Career Counseling

I thought the librarian’s lecture was helpful because she told us how the library can help us in the future when it comes to doing research for essays, projects, and classes. However, I found the career counseling much more helpful. The career counseling building helps students look for internships, jobs on, and off campus. It help students with interview tips and resume editing. In the career center building they had a flyers about different majors and what possible jobs you can get from those majors. I found a flyer about what how to become a physician’s assistant which is what I hope to do. The flyer was very helpful because I learned that before grad school you have to do 1,000 hours clinical hours. Before, I thought I could go to grad school right after I was done with undergrad school but you have to 1,000 hours before grad school. So this was very important information I learned. I also learned that to satisfy the requirement you can do work through the peace corps. So now my plans have changes a bit with the new information I have learned from the career counseling building. I also learned that one or two years of residency program is required before I will be able to practice as a physician assistant. In the flyer I also learned the variety of undergrad majors that I could major in to become a P.A. Before I thought you could only major in Biology or Biochem or Chem to become a P.A. But I could major in Physiology or Anatomy to become a P.A. So now I’m considering changing my major from Bio to Anatomy but I’m not sure yet.
