 Embarking on the Experience of a Lifetime

RIGHT after graduating from high school, even would-be college students can now have carriers in their own right thanks to online education. Think of being a miner. If one is employed in a diamond mine in Utah, then that would be a carrier. And since the minimum wage in the United States is more than enough to pay a family of four, then it can be considered a means of livelihood already. During the day, he may toil at the mine while at night, he can check out his student’s account through the online college he is enrolled. And I’m saying here a real Internet connection at work. Working in a mine is no joke but the pay is no joke too. You can pamper your kids with his own gaming console and you can have all the cable channels that you want and surf at the Internet at the same time, staring at a 45” LCD television monitor with subwoofer sound systems and a high definition DVD player on the side.

Meanwhile, other high school graduates would opt to be in service of the United States Armed Forces after graduation. After two tours of duty, others drop out and continue to a civilian life in a traditional college. Some go to West Point. Soldiering then becomes a profession and while the student is at West Point and upon graduating from it, he or she may proceed to other professions like becoming a physician and eventually an expert in infectious diseases. He is then assigned at USAMRIID or the United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases.

Speaking of becoming a physician, there are lots of health professionals which are in need in the United States today. To become a physician, one must first embark on a four-year academic preparatory course a.k.a. the undergraduate program such as a degree in biology. To do this, there are lots of ways. If you are affluent, you can finance yourself through college. If you are not, there are lots of study grants which you have to take entrance exams to pass. And there are also academic scholarships themselves which are aided by the colleges. Or a varsity scholarship may be in the offing. And then there are student loans with very minimal interest and payable for 30 years. They are either offered by the federal government or some private lenders like Sallie Mae.

While in college, you may want to pursue becoming a physician. That will take another eight academic semesters. After that, you have to pursue a specialization, say, surgery or infectious diseases perhaps. If you are lucky, you will land a job at CDC in Atlanta and dispatched to highly risky areas when outbreaks come out. Or you may want to have a low but equally lucrative profile and continue your work as an adolescence pediatrician or a geriatrician for that matter. The possibilities are really endless. Maybe you want to have a hint in nursing and adore the practicing nurses of ER. Whatever endeavor you are about to take, always remember that luck be with you if you’re only as diligent as it can be.
