My Reasoning
The type of reasoning I tend to be strongest in is how my decisions will affect me in the long run, such as when choosing a career. I ask myself, how will it affect my financial stability? Will I need to travel a lot? Will there be a position available for me in this career? How will it affect my future family? Most importantly, will I be happy will my career? I first began college being a Marketing Major. I know I was going to get paid well, and I would be about to comfortably support my family. I know that it was not going to an easy career, with long hours and Marketing being a competitive field. I chose this major because I had taken Marketing classes back in high school. I felt, since this is what I know and I good at, I should select Marketing as a lifelong career. That was until I discovered Hospitality, Recreation, and Tourism Management as a major. I had always DREAMED of becoming a wedding planner even since I was a little girl. I had never though it was an option for me because I was always told that they do not get paid well, and since I appreciate the finer things in life, I never did consider it. But as I went through my own reasoning process, I came to realize that as long as I have this passion and love for the job, my career path will be just fine.

In your post, I like how you use long term reasoning to figure out your future career path. I do think there is a huge difference between marketing and being a wedding planner and I think that your decision to go with the later is a good one. Marketing seems to me like a career that someone who doesn’t want a family would be more comfortable with having because of all the time and effort that has to be put into it. It seems like if you had kids you would never see them, which seems to be something that you would not want to happen. Being a wedding designer seems to be a much more fulfilling job that you would have a better chance at being happy with.
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent type of reasoning that you have gone through. I have also asked myself these questions in order to choose what career path I want to pursue. Although I am not sure of what I want to do yet, I believe that by using comparative reasoning, many things can be solved. If you compare things, options, or needs, like you have done in your choice of career path, you can conclude what the best options for you are. In your case, I am glad that you figured out what was more important to you. Now that you know that your passion and love for wedding planning over ruled its negatives, you have been able to choose a career path.
