My Career, My Career Interest, and the Value of a College Education Ess
My Career, My Career Interest, and the Value of a College EducationAbstractMy career path has been chosen for me through heredity, as my length of time on Earth has been pre-determined by the Great Creator. How I choose to use this time will be referred to as my success command of life-time. How I am remembered will depend on what I accomplish. In short, life is given, but not guaranteed. We all have the choices before us, which determine if life is easy or difficult. Many times, I had the option of all or nothing, and for some reason chose all every time. In this paper, I will seek my present career as a manufacturing engineer, a career interest as a plant manager, and the value of a college education to organizations, customers, and myself.

They would alter the expression I felt about life, contribute to changes in my personality, and most of all, formed the basis for my later life in general, including my chosen profession.My father, prior to WWII, worked for Victor adding form Company, who designed the Norden Bombsight. After the war, he and another man started an oil well drilling comp any. He did all the engineering required except for the Geology, and co-owned the company until the late 1950s. My father was not a degreed petroleum engineer, but was in fact qualified. He had studied under his father, who also had owned an oil company in Southern Illinois for most of his life.
