Personal Narrative: My Experience With Associate's Degree
What made me go back to school was the fact I graduated with an associate degree and all the employment offers I received were under fifteen dollars an hour. At first, I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t’ getting better offers on the salary. I thought that once you received some type of extended education via associate’s degree, that it would get better for me. But, as I looked for employment, the offers only got worse. So, I went back into the field of work that I had all my experience in which is diesel mechanic field. I was really trying to get out of it because I was just tired of turning wrenches. I was tired of getting dirty. I realized in order for me to receive the salary that I needed and wanted, I needed a new career, which is in business

    I would like to transfer once I get my associate degree at a community college because I feel I am ready to move forward with my education. I currently am enrolled at Cabrillo Community College, which is, for the most part, a transfer prep college. Community College has prepared me to study at a University and I hope to continue my studies as far as I can go. As I grew up, I was interested in a wide range of subjects and never found one thing I was truly passionate about. When I started at community college, I was set on a computer science major because I knew I was computer proficient and enjoyed spending my free time figuring out programs. I struggled a great deal in the major. As I realized that I was not passionate about programming, I…

    I first began looking at colleges my freshman year of high school. First, I looked up schools I thought seemed interesting and had majors I thought I may want to develop and pursue a career in. My list started off with about 20 schools and by sophomore year I would need to break it down to about 10. I began to visit these schools 1 by 1 and saw the type of programs they had to offer. I began at colleges such as Wake Forest, Clemson, and University of Tennessee at Knoxville. But I could tell that these schools just weren’t for me. My mother became fed up because I did not find interest in the schools I thought I would fall in love with.…
