Sue

  1. Sue described several myths about careers.  One myth she spoke of was the one that identified the major you choose now will lock you into your career.  Describe at least two different career paths you have had interest in throughout your college career.  What classes have you taken that have exposed you to possible career paths?
Where do I start? I've been interested in archaeology, classical archaeology, public relations, film making, advertising, consulting, and a couple more things that probably don't make the list. I've taken classes in all of these different fields and I have loved them. One specific career path I can talk about is advertising and communications. I was able to take intro to communications, and writing in communications. Those were two very valuable classes that I had, it helped me realize that I didn't want to do advertising or something in communications even though that was a field I was interested in. I was also interested in being a film producer. I still really love this field and it is perhaps a career field i'd like to be in. I took intro to film which was an awesome class. LOVED it. 
  1. "When I find my calling, work will be bliss." Please describe how this statement is a busted myth.
This is a busted myth because just because you find your calling doesn't mean that every moment of your career will be a blissful happy journey with no trials. Life has trials, all aspects. Even when you find your calling in life, you will have bumps along the road, but it will all be for good, so no worries.
