Introduction Choosing the right career and working towards it is an important aspect in the life of any individual. It is the right choice that enables an individual to be successful in life and at the end of the productive phase of live, enjoy a sense of achievement. The Three Career Options that Attracted Me The three career opportunities that attracted me were becoming a military officer, a financial analyst, or a marketing manager. There were several reasons that made a military career attractive. The military was looking for individuals with skills in mathematics and science, which are my areas of academic strengths. The Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program was available at most colleges and universities, which would allow me to pursue an education in a field that I liked, and which would be paid for by a military scholarship. At the end of my education I would become a military officer and become a leader of men. This would put a minimal strain on the finances of my parents, making me less reliant on their providing for me at a young age. I would lead men in the fight against terrorism to make the world a safer and more peaceful place to live in, as General George S. Patton did against the Nazis during World War II. I would have a secure and socially acceptable career in the military. I would start with a minimal salary of $29,376 per annum with the added benefits of thirty days paid vacation in addition to paid holidays and support for any ambitions on future studies (Boyd, 2000). The United States of America is the leading economic power in the world and hence the hub of economic activity. Being a part of this economic activity is an attractive career. Globalization has led to greater mobility of finances around the world, as part of investments in economic activities of business enterprises. As a financial analyst I would gather information that includes financial data, economic trends, and historical performances about business enterprises and employing my analytical skills use the data to make forecasts. Such forecasts would be used by investors to retain, purchase or sell their interests in business enterprises. In short, like the financial analyst Tom Galvin, through accurate forecasts, I would have the power to control the flow of investments into the right areas of business activity. This would increase investor confidence and the productivity of American business enterprises. I would be contributing to the strength and buoyancy of the American economy. I could become a financial analyst at the young age of twenty earning more than $17 an hour. Through my efforts I could look forward in three years to earning $ 80,000 a year. As I become a senior financial analyst I could expect to earn more than $240,000 per annum. Making it among the top analysts would give me more than $750,000 per annum and a more than comfortable financial situation (Zhou, 2006). My final choice in careers is to be a marketing professional or marketing manager to lead in a marketing responsibility, like Lee Iaccoca of Chrysler in yesteryears. Marketing is a much more expansive career function, as in its integration lies creativity. Marketing is often viewed as a function that draws on the resources of a business enterprise, with particular emphasis on financial resources, but when done in
