The Power of Vision

For most people, graduating can seem frightening. Entering the workforce in an economy like this can be one of the most difficult things, especially without a specific vision on what you want to do with the rest of your life. For me, I cant wait to graduate. I currently work at a telecommunication and data networking firm and once I finish school, I can really start working and making an impact on my career. Some goals I have set in my head already are to go into sales, however, in order to do this successfully I need to learn everything there is to know about the company. You cannot sell something you know nothing about (at least not successfully). After sales, and working in the company, I would like to take some of my earning and start an independent company myself (not necessarily in the same field however). This would give me the opportunity to not "put all my eggs in one basket" and allow me to move around more freely throughout the workforce. Additionally, on top of these two goals, I would like to start a family with a wife and kids by the time I reach the age of 30. However, I would like to be financially secure before doing so. These three visions I have are far ahead of me now, but I feel they are completely attainable and if I set my mind toward them, there is nothing that can stop me.

  1. I agree with you, not all students are ready to graduate and are also dreading the moment. I'm actually the same, I'm excited to graduate and start working in the field that I chose. Yes, starting a family requires a lot of responsibility and you really have to be prepared for it and one way is being financially stable. I think as long as you believe in yourself and have your mind set toward your goals, you can certainly accomplish anything. Good luck with everything and I hope your vision becomes a reality.

  2. Article 32:
    A Bro doesn't allow another Bro to get married until he's at least thirty.

    Bro... "By the time?" Bro... You have plenty of time!
    Joking aside Bro, visions Bro, visions. Dream bigger. I understand that financial security is a necessity, but there is a difference between a need and a want.
