Education and the careers
are an important element of the job life of today’s
professionals. Of course, there is a lot of information that helps us in making
this decision but we can also use some basic ideas to help us avoid mistakes
and make a better decisions. If you want a new career, where do you need to
start? There is not enough explanation of this question for sure so let’s try
and clarify what education and careers there are.
What are Education and careers? – What is education and what does
it mean to work? Are these terms even used in a real sense? Well, actually no!
According to official sources like the American Institutes of Health (NIH), there
were 479 million people who completed their college education worldwide in
2017! Moreover, only 24% of them hold bachelor’s degrees from two-year colleges
and universities. Now that’s bad news for those who have to drop out of any
school because of financial problems and other reasons. But let’s remember the
word “education” in the first place: it means a set amount of knowledge which
is usually formal and is not something that will be a part of your everyday
job. That doesn’t mean that you get to be more knowledgeable than all those
other employees.
In general, there are several types of education or education and
all of them fit into specific jobs. Let’s list some main ones and see what
kinds of courses they cover and where are mostly used nowadays:
Graduates degree: This type of degree is very similar to a PhD.
In reality, you must complete a Master’s Degree and pass all necessary exams
before getting to enter that field. You have to study full time until the
end of the year. It is also called vocational education level or VET. After that,
you can continue working as you are doing your Master's. Some countries also
call this a graduate program and not just one as well.
Note that many of your university’s diplomas, Master’s degrees
are often created by different universities but most of them follow this
pattern. So, if there is a problem with your university, remember that its
quality matters. Even though that is not easy to understand and sometimes quite
hard to finish, it will definitely help you succeed. Also, you can always ask
for some kind of assistance from experts like through online certificates or
professional certification. This makes your whole life much easier.
Professional certifications: Professional qualifications are
some form of academic qualification that is obtained mostly by employers. At a
certain point to get your degree or certificate, you should go on coursework.
Here, it is possible to choose a teacher, a supervisor, and a lecturer.
Usually, you can find courses on various topics such as marketing management,
health care, engineering… These courses cover not only your skills but also
your professional qualities or interests. They help you gain experience and
connections so that you stay ready for the following jobs. I personally would
recommend these courses, especially for those who are thinking about starting a
profession. A good mentor for beginners is someone who can give helpful advice.
Note: One might wonder when should they begin studying all the
subjects. Yes, there is a variety of options to be studied and each subject has
its own criteria. For example, business and marketing can be studied at higher
levels than others. However, when your career moves to another country then you
should expect to start learning something new every day.
Online classes: Online learning services are perfect to learn
anything from anywhere anytime in the world. If you are looking for the best
way to study these types of courses, there are lots of websites where students
can get lessons from instructors around the clock. It is not just for students,
it works for experienced teachers also too. With that said, you don’t need to
be afraid to ask for help every single time. This way, you can never be alone
in your studies anymore!
Note that online courses work for both personal and professional
development which I mentioned above.
What are Examples of Career Fields? – Are there types of careers
that are not related to fields like Medicine and Engineering? Well, let me tell
you: yes! there are! Lots of industries and companies use engineers and doctors
in their work as part of their workforce. Engineers can become surgeons,
pharmacists, etc. Doctors are needed everywhere. All of those people work on
tasks that include designing and building things, testing and analysis and many
other tasks. In short, there are plenty of professions that are based on
medical and engineering, but you may get confused to know which ones actually
fit into your career and who should be involved in them. This article is trying
to explain the basics of the process of choosing which professional path you
should choose and the possibilities it offers. So, let us start explaining
these types of careers.
Engineering: Engineering is a huge industry, where thousands of
companies hire engineers to design and build everything. Every company requires
them as a part of their team and every job description includes these
positions. Engineers make complex equipment parts and components and also build
the machines or robots themselves. That’s why they are called highly experienced
professionals. Besides that, it is impossible to ignore that some of them are
able to create great products and services and that’s why you hear many name
companies like Ford Motors, IBM, Microsoft, Apple, Volvo, BMW, Sony, LG
Corporation, Fujitsu and many others use them in their factories with great
success. Note, that in each business sector engineers play an important role in
order to produce quality products.
This particular profession requires high and varied education
and training so that you can be a successful expert in it. Many companies offer
engineering schools and even online programs to teach you everything you need
to know to become a competent engineer. Most public colleges also take
advantage of these opportunities. Not all educational institutions are
available for online programs, but they're all of them. If you want to become an
engineer in future, keep reading.
Healthcare: Healthcare is becoming a really powerful profession
and as such, it is growing very fast and attracting a lot of talented people
with lots of money on the market. There are lots of hospitals and clinics that
employ healthcare specialists that do a large portion of the treatment and
research work. Doctors and nurses are required everywhere. Your doctor may do
surgeries, help you heal wounds with medicine, provide you with medicines, and
even prescribe medicine for yourself.
Note: Of course, you do not need to study everything there is
and also a lot of doctors who go against what you know works. It is only logical
that when you have to know everything to become a specialist in something you
start with a broad view of the field and then narrow down your focus. Be aware
that not all doctors are equal and you will not always enjoy this profession.
But with some exceptions, you will be happy if your doctor is ready to answer
all of your questions. If there are none, it’s ok, but take all precautionary
measures anyway. Never let health risks affect your career.
Engineer/Architecture: Another branch of engineering is
Architectural Engineers. Although there are a few specialized professions in
this area, they share many similarities and also a few differences between those
two branches. Among them are many designers, engineers, geographers, interior
designers and many others. Those professionals deal in developing structures,
buildings, machines and many others. From the industrial perspective, here you
will see engineers. Of course, you can learn much about these professionals and
even use them for your work. Just consider Google’s use of AI, which is not
surprising either because of the popularity and use of the technology itself;
it is being used by millions of companies. Furthermore, some companies prefer
using architecture engineers especially after talking with engineers and asking
them if can you use them to build a product.
Healthcare: Medical experts are quite essential to life in human
and animal medicine. Their work is critical in diagnosis, cure, and
rehabilitation. Healthcare is one of such professions that demand huge amounts
of expertise and knowledge and require proper training. Physicians help
patients with all those complications that have nothing to do with the disease
itself. They are responsible for giving all those medications to make you
healthy again. Additionally, they also give you medication and surgical
procedures. People who work as physicians can help you grow stronger
physically, mentally and emotionally. Thus, it is not surprising that
healthcare is heavily regulated and there are lots of laws controlling the
career of physicians as well. Check the regulations and rules carefully.
Some professions in these industries are particularly hard so
it’s not surprising that in the early days, people were struggling to join
them. The same applies to the automotive industry as well. Lots of companies still
think about changing vehicles constantly and you need to have good skills in
that field. Today’s auto engineers are very expensive to acquire but it is
worth noting that it is also difficult to obtain them at times when a car is
not selling that easily. Yet, this area is growing very rapidly and you will be
hearing lots of complaints about them.
You should note that the biggest difference between different
sectors in this matter is the lack of jobs. It’s true that lots of organizations
are already hiring skilled labourers but in most cases, they get stuck with
low-skilled workers. Therefore it is extremely important (and extremely hard)
to maintain your education level and your training. Otherwise, you cannot blame
anyone and there may be situations when employers refuse to work with you
because of your low skill. Try and find ways to improve your skills and apply
for open positions that you are qualified for.
Finally, we should talk about occupations that are not directly related to industries like medicine and engineering. There are so many such ones and many industries. It is impossible to mention them all without.
