When I graduate I plan on becoming a nurse, I interviewed my mom, she is a nurse and the whole reason for why i chose my profession. I have a passion for helping people and I saw what she did and realized that that is what I wanted to do. When I interviewed her she made me realize that it is a lot harder than i thought. I found out that I am not guaranteed a job in what i want to do and i have to have experience underneath my belt to really be accepted.
The first question I asked her was how long it took for her to get to where she is now, and with college included it took her 12 years. 8 years of school and 4 years of trying to find someone that would hire her. She stressed to me that it is not easy to get a job right away, and she told me that i should volunteer and do what ever i could before i start trying to find a job, because then i would be more likely to get a job in what i want to do.
The second question i asked her was how her income was, and she told me despite our economic problem at the moment, her job really does pay her a lot, and once out debt is cleaned up she will be able to flourish like she always planned. Again she stressed to me that nothing is like you imagine, and that if you really want it to end up the way you want it to, not to think too big in the beginning. Start small, and when you know you can buy that car or that house without regret then it is time to make that step, do not act on a whim unless you know you can make it without having to worry.
What i learned from my interview is that everything can be exactly how i want it to be just as long as I make the right decisions while pursuing my dream. It's not impossible, it can just take a very long time if i mess up in the beginning.
