Going into the field of nursing,there are a great many cities that would benefit my career. This is due to the fact that nursing is such a broad field in a even broader field of medicine . If I would have to choose a city that would give me the most benefit it would have to be Boston ,Massachusetts . Because of the high salary, Large population , and the famous New England scenery. The high salary would most definitly benefit my career. Because being a nurse is a noble calling but unfortunly in some places it just doesn't pay that well. With the highest grossing annual income for nursing in the United States, a Boston nurse makes over $51,000 a year....
There are thousands of cities in the world, each offering their own opportunities for those who travel there. Each shows a different culture and different things to explore. I wish to study fashion design in college, ironically your example for this question. However, I would not go to Paris, I would go to Amsterdam for its diversity, strength in my desired field, and promise of a new culture. Amsterdam shows a wide variety of people. There are of course the natives, Dutch speaking tall individuals. The young women in the red light district desperate for money. The tourists running around taking photos of the city structures, and the poor sitting in the...
If I could travel to any city in the world to better myself in the education field, I would go to China. China is very fortunate, having many intelligent students. Students in China are taught advanced education at a very young age; all children in China know how to speak English as a language, as a secondary language, but very fluently. Students in schools in the United States are not usually taught a foreign or secondary language, until at least the ninth grade. Even being taught a foreign language at this age, most students only study it for a minimum of two years, and after that they do not continue to study or speak the language. This leads to the language...
Chicago - The Windy City. Chicago would be, in my opinion, the best city in the world for me to go to that would be a colossal eye opener. Since business is, in fact, what I want my career to be in, then distinguishing what kind of business I really want to work for is crucial. The diversity of Chicago's businesses go from night clubs, to bakeries, to paper suppliers and back. How else are you supposed to know what you want if you've never seen or experiences these businesses first hand? My career of choice happens to be human resources development. Being a people person, I want to know what kinds of people I'm going to be dealing with. Chicago's population is...
As Saint Augustine said, "The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." Traveling heals the soul, and mind, and helps to culture the traveler. To travel is to inherently and involutarily become educated and familiar with the many customs of the world around us. There is so much out there in the world for us to see, which would help anyone in what they want to achieve when they are older. For me, traveling to London would be not only an exciting expierience but an educational one. Traveling to London would help me culture myself, and learn about the century old laws. These are especialy important for one who is aspiring to be a attorney. No...
Being a future writer, the place that would best benefit my career has to be Prypiat in modern day Ukraine. This may be ringing a bell if you play Call of Duty 4 due to there being a whole level that takes place there. The silent, abandoned radioactive city isn't just you're typical video game apocalyptic fantasy, its an actual place. It's a city that had to be abandoned in the 70's because of a malfunction at the Chernobyl reactor. Living in a place so eerie where few have gone would make me more marketable to potential employers because it would make me experience few things others have, thus making me the only one who could accurately portray it. There are...
When I was seven years old my family went on a vacation to New York City. I made it a priority, even at such a young age, to visit the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ centers. I have always been interested in the stock market, finance, and economics. New York City is the perfect place for me to pursue and tackle these passions successfully at its birth place. New York City is also where I want to go to college because of all the financial and stock market agencies. New York City is the biggest city in the world. It is the perfect place where I can engage in my career passions. I would be a small fish in an ocean with an ample supply of employers and...
I would choose Detroit, MI as a city on the rise for future employment in the tool and die manufacturing field. Detroit is coming back to life now that people are more inclined to purchase American Made goods, including cars. With the need for cars, manufacturing of parts and tools will therefore increase making my field of interest one that will be in high demand. Right now Detroit is practically in a free fall with its economy. When the US automakers started asking the government for help, people started moving out at a rapid pace looking elsewhere for work. The show Good Morning America in conjunction with ABC's World News Tonight are featuring services and...
I was born in San Diego, California but grew up in Imperial Valley, a small county which is considered high in unemployment, teen pregnancy, contamination, and illiteracy rates. I am very intrested in pursuing my education after high school and have decided that I want to study forensic psychology. California doesn't have many universities that offer forensic psychology therefore, I will have to study in a more Eastern state. As a forensic psychologist I would have to live in Washington D.C. because the FBI headquarters is located there. In Washington D.C. I would have a better chance to work in my field of study and work with people that have the same intrest...
If I could choose any city in the world to live in for the purpose of benefiting my future career, it would hands down be Dallas, Texas. Most would disagree and try to argue more for New York City, or Los Angeles, but I disagree. The Dallas area is consistently producing the largest or near largest number of net new jobs in the Texas, and ranks among the highest job yielding cities in America. For a student right out of college, moving to a city which produces so many jobs would be an ideal situation. As a sophmore at a community college in Florida, I still have a lot of options that are open as far as making a career choice. If I don't change my mind, I'd like...
