Career Choice Comparative Essay
November 14,2014
My love for sports is bigger than most. This being said, coaching would be a well-fitted job for me, despite the long hours of practice and dedication to the team. Regardless of my personal choice, I found two totally different jobs that I might accept: craft and fine artist and a florist.
Though I would make exceptions for my career, I am often told of the creativity I posses, which is why I would consider such jobs in the chart below:
Coaching Craft and Fine Artist Florist
| Salary: | $65,910 (yearly average) | $32,270 (yearly average) | $23,810 (yearly average) |
| Benefits: | Being fit, watching others progress | Gain organization skillsCreativeness | Gain organization skillsCreativeness |
| Talents: | Communication, patience, coaching skill | Drawing, sewing, woodwork, imagination | Creativity, eye for color |
| FutureProspect: | P.E coach, or continue this job after retiring | Most successful artist is craft and fine artist. Can be carried out past retirement | Create and fine artist, keep job past retirement |
| Advancement: | Grows of economy, multimedia artist, art director, art teacher, writer | Growth of communication |
By examining these three jobs, the most reliable would be coaching. I noticed these jobs varied in salary; coaching has the highest of these, with an average of $65,910.. needing a bachelors degree, coaching training and possible a few extra years in college. My second job choice is a craft and fine artist. This job would give me an average of $32,270 in a year, only needing a high school diploma. The last job I would consider is a florist, which would provide about $23,810 in a year, which also only requires a high school degree. All of these careers give me a reasonable amount of money good stability and I would have enough experience in my knowledge to take on another job similar, if I wanted to, such as a P.E coach, or other artistic offerings.
The best option for a job to fit me would be coaching, because I love sports and being active. This being said, I would enjoy this job more than others. But also, either of the other two jobs would work for me because I am very creative and have such an eye for artsy craft activities such as painting or drawing. If my career depended on coaching, I would make more money. I would be satisfied with my job for a longer period of time. The downfall would be the crazy, extended hours into the night, comparing to being self- employed and doing my work as I pleased. Craft and fine artist and a florist have less of a salary, and I would not enjoy working for long.
I would have to decide on coaching as the right job for me. The pay is better, at $65,910 a year. The other two jobs would start interesting, but eventually I would tire of having the same project everyday. As for coaching you have a new challenge of skills, relationships and the effort put into the game, almost every time practice is held.
I have been in love with sports since I was a child. It began with dance. Afterward followed softball, cheer, volleyball and tennis.. every day after school I have some type of sports activity, which is why I chose coaching as my final career choice. This suits me because I love to be in charge of activities I love.
Overall, I think coaching would be a better fit, have a better pay, and I would enjoy having the occupation. I would come to work with plans to overcome obstacles. I would give 110% into what was to be done. Having a side job with an artistic connection would be amazing, but my heart belongs with physical activity and working with, and for others, helping them progress in their work.
