Recognizing Your Strengths
Recognizing
your strengths is something that is very important. When I was in high school I
wanted to be a fashion designer, and that was what I was going to go to school
for. However, I am not a very good drawer and would not be able to draw my
designs of clothes. Recognizing this helped me change my mind and do something that
I was better at, Science. For argument type I’m strongest in inductive, this is
because you can never guarantee an answer is going to the right one. This is
easiest for me since I use it a lot in my everyday life already. Being good at
inductive arguments can help me with my career as a nutritionist because getting
people to eat right is not going to be easy and giving them a probable outcome
to their actions is better than saying something will happen when there is
always a chance it might not.

It is a good thing that you came to realize that maybe science is a better fit for you. It would be hard to be a fashion designer with no drawing skills. I have noticed that most critical thinkers such as mathematicians or science based majors are more likely better at inductive reasoning, since you use that reasoning to solve problems in your area everyday. I also found that on my strengths is using inductive reasoning but i am neither a math or science lover. I am actually quite the opposite. My major is in communications and my favorite subjects surround the english, language arts, and literature areas.
ReplyDeleteI had a very similar path when choosing my career path. I was very certain that I was going to major in Marketing. I had taken two marketing classes in high school and I loved them, and I guess I was good at them. It wasn't till I got here to San Jose State, that I realized that it is not my real passion. So I switched over to Hospitality, Recreation, and Tourism Management. I was finally able to realize my own strength, such as Event Planning, to make a decision on where I wanted to take my career path.
