I would like to have a challenging first job and working at McKinsey promises a lot of traveling and working with different industries which will help me in building my professional experience. Working as an associate will require that I work gathering information and analyzing it, making a hypothesis and testing them for clarity as well as forwarding findings and recommendations (McKinsey, 2019). The job requires that I work with a team which is an advantage because I can learn from my peers.

​In order to reach my end goal of working as a strategist consultant, I first need to concentrate on getting the best grades as early as in my first year. A company like McKinsey is very specific that its employees have to have top-notch academic qualifications so a mere pass will not cut it. Luckily, I am still in my first year and I can find ways to keep my grades up. Secondly, I also have to graduate with my degree first, before looking for meaningful employment in any of the two companies. A degree is enough for me to land an entry position but because companies like McKinsey allow their employees to pursue higher learning, I can take my masters while still working to improve my chances of promotion in the future. Thirdly, I can sign up for summer jobs at my companies of interest so that I can learn more about the companies. If I successfully manage to find a job in the company every summer until I graduate, I will improve my chances of getting my dream job and also develop important skill sets.

​It is clear that as a consultant I will need to sharpen my communication skills because the job requires a lot of interactions. Joel Garfinkle recommends that it is important to read books as well as magazines to learn from the best communicators. A good communicator also learns to listen to others, maintains eye contact and good body posture, conveys simple messages and engages listeners (Garfinkle, 2019). I have to do a lot of practice to ensure that my communication skills not only improve but are also perfect. Good leadership skills are also essential in consulting. I have not been much of a leader in the past but then there are leaders who are made. I will try to volunteer for more leadership positions within the campus and in extracurricular activities to improve my leadership skills. The job also calls for good problem solving and analysis skills which I hope to learn in my course especially while reviewing real-life incidents in companies and industries. I can also improve analysis and problem solving by taking an active role in solving all the problems I am bound to encounter during my study period. In summary, I need to work on getting good grades and improving my skills as I work towards my goal.

​In conclusion, steps towards achieving my goal in consulting include working hard at getting good grades and graduating with a degree in Business Administration. My odds include a lack of good leadership and communication skills which I am willing to work on through practice and research to gain more experience. Industry standards are the same in the top consulting companies as the job descriptions do not vary at all. The salary is good for an entrance position as I can always make more money later, when I am more experienced, by working as an expert in the field of consulting. The job requires a lot of traveling but I do not mind because as a young person with few responsibilities, I do not mind touring the world and meeting different people. I believe the experience will be an added advantage in my portfolio and working experience. The job demands a lot of training and coaching in the early years but I am focused on facing the challenges and beating my odds.

To be a Forensic Science Technician it is required to have a bachelor’s degree in a natural science, such as chemistry or biology, or in forensic science. Many forensic scientists will have an undergraduate degree in the natural sciences and a master’s degree in forensic science. Forensic science technicians will receive on-the-job training before they can work on cases independently. Certifications and licenses are not usually necessary for the entry-level of this job.

Some of the skills a forensic science technician employer is looking for are communication, critical-thinking, detail-oriented, math, science, and problem-solving skills. For communication skills, a forensic science technician is required to write reports and testify in court. They also have to be able to work well with other law enforcement officials and specialists. Critical-thinking skills are also a good skill to have, this includes using their best judgment when matching physical evidence (like DNA and fingerprints) to suspects. Since forensic science technicians need to be good at collecting and analyzing the evidence they find, they must also be detail-oriented and able to notice small changes in mundane objects. Forensic science technicians need a solid understanding of statistics and natural sciences to be able to analyze evidence. They will also use scientific tests and methods to help law enforcement officials solve crimes.

A major advantage is that the career is set to increase within the next 10 years. Another advantage for me is that crime scene investigators may work staggered day, evening, or night shifts and may have to work overtime because they must always be available to collect or analyze evidence. I enjoy having my work changing it helps me grow as a person and keeps me on my toes. A disadvantage is that there are not a lot of jobs as a forensic science technician available. Though this job is said to have a 14 percent increase by 2028 the fast growth will result in only about 2,400 new jobs over the 10 years. Though it is nice to have a changing schedule the unpredictability of the schedule will make plans and activities outside of work difficult.

Students often face difficulties in making choices and decisions about which careers to pursue. Two major reasons why there is difficulty in making career choices among students. First, students have trouble finding information and lack of resources about a job or career that can be used as a reference. Second, it is the lack of skills or motivation to get information about a job or career that ultimately creates identity problems for a student. Next, influence from family and peers. As a result, many graduates are not comfortable with their chosen occupations without the advice of experienced counsellor.

This does not cover all of the responsibilities of accountants, however, it summarizes the career well enough to give potential candidates an overview. Like I stated before a CPA, or Certified Public Accountant, is a licensed accountant. Most of the accountants that get their CPA license going into public taxes. They review clients financial paperwork from the year in order to properly prepare their taxes and advise them on how to lower them the following year. These clients could include individuals or businesses of any size.

I would like to become a public accountant, so I will be focusing the rest of this paper on that path. When I interviewed Priestly he told me that every job in the tax field required the CPA license, and that those who practice without it usually end up calling in a CPA or getting in trouble with the law. His advice for beginning in the field was to get an internship while I work on the licensing in order to get my foot in the door and show that I have experience with taxes. He also stated that once I received my bachelors I would be able to get a job in a different branch of accounting to gain experience.

The Association of International Certified Public Accountants (n.d.) thoroughly lists the path once an individual received their CPA license. Near the beginning CPAs have the option of becoming a staff auditor, tax staff, or management and consulting staff which requires 1-3 years of experience. With 3-6 years of experience CPAs can replace their staff title with senior. This puts you in charge of the staff, given more say in decisions made, and can give advice to clients.

Following the senior level and with 6 years of experience you can become a manager in the previous job sections. At this level you would be over the seniors and staff, scheduling, typically given larger clients and make many of the decisions. The only thing above this are partners and senior partners. Many CPAs who get to this level stay for life, there are very few positions that open unless the accountant starts their own firm. There are typically 3 partners and one senior partner. Each partner is over a different branch of the firm.

The exams require you to have your bachelors degree with specific hours in related studies, which comes from a regular BS in accounting. However, in order to be licensed there are more requirements. According to the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (n.d.) for Utah they require the hours for a MS program from an accredited school with a degree in taxation or business administration. They have in depth information as to what hours must go to which classes, however, many schools mix the BS and MS degrees with preparation for the examination.

While I was working at a tax firm early 2019 I noticed that much of the preparation was done through a program on the computer. I saw an issue that the need for accountants might begin to dwindle as the firm became more efficient. I mentioned this to Priestly (2019) and he stated that the lower end jobs may be replaced, however, it is difficult to replicate decision making and consultation. Programs cannot do these tasks as well as humans, and cannot take human need and situations into account, that they can only advise and give statistical recommendations.

Just like every other job there are pros and cons to becoming an accountant, or CPA. some of the well known ones are listed by Flavin (2019). Beginning with pros, there is a clear career path and the skills and knowledge required is similar across the board. It is a stable and growing career, like stated in the previous section, accounting is growing at a quicker rate than most other jobs. Potential for professional growth such as licenses. The pay is usually higher than the average salary for the U.S. Accounting is everywhere and you can find a place to work depending on where you want to live, usually. The knowledge gained from this career transfers over into entrepreneurship, and it is more realistic to start your own firm than many other professions.

Many of these translate into other jobs, such as stress, deadlines, and busy seasons. However, there are a few that were not listed that Priestly (2019) deemed important to know and even disagrees with some of the ones listed.

Finally, he agrees that there is a clear career path to follow. A few cons he mentioned are the long hours and having to take work home often in order to make deadlines.

In fact, a study of Higher Education faculty in the USA showed that 64% agreed with the statement “Does teaching to a student’s learning style enhance learning?”(Dandy& Bendersky, 2014 cited in Newton & Miah, 2017). Another study done in the UK found that although 58% of academics in UK Higher Education believe that Learning Styles are eﬀective, only about a third actually uses them (Newton &Miah, 2017).

They further claimed that this mismatch between the empirical evidence and belief in learning Styles, alongside the persistence of Learning Styles in the wider literature, has led to tension and controversy, and even labeling it a ‘myth”. However, Fleming (2012) rebutted by saying that “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence”. He went on to say that lack of evidence means what it says – at this point in time, we do not have any reliable, valid research that would predict that knowing one’s learning style is beneficial for learning.

Marcy (2001) posited that in understanding their learning style, students will understand their learning. In fact, a strategic learner must understand how to identify their learning goal, integrate learning style, apply proper skills and be self-regulated to achieve the best results from their learning (Paris & Wingrad, 1990; Zimmerman & Schunk, 2001; Wadsworth, Husman & Duggan, 2007 cited in Gokalp, 2013). Hence, when students understand how they learn best… they adjust conditions and devise strategies for facilitating the progress (cited in Dunn, Honigsfeld, Doolan, (2009).
Topic: career-goals

Hence, knowing one’s learning style is then a necessary precursor to understanding… how one learns (Fleming, 2012).In researches done by Dunn, et. al., (2009) and Khanal, Shah, and Koirala (2014), students claimed that knowing their learning styles helped their academic progress. Hood (1995) also agreed that students who knew their learning styles did better academically than their peers (cited in Surgenor, 2010).
Topic: career-goals

On the other hand, some educators believe that identifying students’ learning styles is another form of labeling. Brent and Felder (2005) rebutted; they claimed that identifying students learning styles will help educators tailor instructions to fit preference. Clarke, (2008) also agreed that learning style can be used to adjust or fine-tune fundamental learning strategies (cited in Surgenor, 2010), and this may enhance academic achievement. According to Coffield et al, (2004), the appeal of learning styles lies in the potential that students may become more motivated to learn if they’re aware of their own strengths and weaknesses as learners(cited by Surgenor, 2010).

It was suggested by researchers that everyone has a learning style. Learners may prefer to learn by visual, auditory, reading or kinaesthetic modes. A VARK website surveyed 45,826 respondents and found that 27.8% are kinaesthetic, 27.4% read/write, 24.5% aural, and 20.5% visual (cited in Khanal, Shah & Koirala, 2014). Fleming (2007) also conducted a survey and found from VARK determination that thousands of college-aged students preferred auditory and kinaesthetic modes of learning (cited in Johnson, 2009, Khanal, Shah& Koirala, 2014). He however suggested that a single preference is indicative of the strength of one of the modalities, not an indication that the other three VARK modalities do not exist. Even a learner with a very strong kinaesthetic preference will still have scores for the other three modes and be prepared to use those when they suit the context of their learning (cited in Othman & Amiruddin, 2010).
Topic: career-goals

Thus, in recent times, Fleming posited that learners can also prefer multiple modes, and this he referred to as bimodal (VA, RK), tri-modal (ARK, VAK), quad-modal (VARK), or simply multimodal. He further claimed that it is unlikely that any population with VARK data will exhibit more than 40% as having a single preference (cited in Othman & Amiruddin, 2010). Khanal, Shah, and Koirala, (2014) in their study found this to be true. They retrieved and reviewed 20 full-text research papers in most of parts of the world the studies showed that multimodal learning style was the predominant one over unimodal. Further, the multimodal quad model was the most preferred. In the unimodal presentation, most preferred one is a kinaesthetic type of learning along with visual, aural, and read-write to less extent.
Topic: career-goals

Paradoxically, Peyman et al (2014) in their study reported that a greater majority of students preferring only one learning style was found to be auditory or aural, and for students with bimodal, it was found that 46% of the students preferred the styles kinaesthetic and visual. The learning styles kinaesthetic, visual and aural made up the highest tri-modal preference. Fleming (1995) also found that the most commonly used model in the learning process is the aural mode. He further mentioned that in a higher-education system, the kinaesthetic mode has the least tendency molded by teachers in teaching (cited in Othman & Amiruddin, 2010).
Topic: career-goals

Thus, it is an advantage to anyone who has more than one type of learning style, because those individuals possess more flexible views and acceptance of their learning environment (cited in Othman & Amiruddin, 2010). It is then vital that instruction be multimodal so that all students can be taught in their preferred learning style and benefit from the teaching/ learning process. Felder & Brent,( 2005) agreed that the goal of instruction should be to equip students with the skills associated with every learning style category, regardless of students personal preference, since they will need all of those skills to functions effectively as professional

Since its conception, the theory of learning style and its application to learning has been sought. Theorists have been exploring the application of the concept learning styles to students’ academic performance and achievement, and are finding varying results (Abidin, Rezaee, Abdullah, & Singh, 2011; Warn, 2009; Komarraju, Karau, Schmeck, & Avdic, 2011 cited in Corbin, 2017). According to Corbin, (2017), the differ findings in the literature with regards to the relationship between students’ learning styles and academic performance are indeed ubiquitous. However, Hatami (2013) emphasizes that the research on the relationships between the learning styles and learning outcomes has yielded contradictory results (cited in Abu-Ayyash and Assaf, 2016).

A study conducted by Warn (2009) using Kolb’s (1976) Learning Style Inventory concluded that there is no significant association between the students’ learning styles and their academic performance (cited in Corbin, 2017). Researchers such as Garner-O’Neale and Harrison, (2013), and Mlambo( 2012) have also explored learning styles and academic performance at the tertiary level. They reported that there was no significant or predictive relationship between learning styles and academic performance (cited in Corbin, 2017). In contrast, Abidin et al. (2011) conducted a study using Dunn and Dunn’s (1986) Learning Styles Model and concluded that there is a significant relationship between learning styles and academic performance (Corbin, 2017). Recent research done by Khanal, Shah and Koirala (2014) indicated that students learning styles and approaches to study may have a significant bearing on their academic success.

However, Farrell-Moskwa(1992) found that despite a low correlation between learning style and general success, there is a meaningful relationship between learning style and performance on an individual scale ( cited in Ural, Erean & Kertulumus, 2015). More specifically, Boatman, Courtney and Reer (2008) stated that students who are visual learners are more successful in learning (cited in Ural, Erean & Kertulumus, 2015). Chiou (2008) in a study also found that students with auditory and visual learning style have higher academic success in science classes. He also found that the kinaesthetic learning style has a lower average of success in comparison to students who have visual and auditory learning style (cited in Ural, Erean & Kertulumus, 2015). Conversely, Abidin, Rezaee, Abdullah and Singh, (2001) found in their study that those students with multiple learning styles tend to do better academically than those with just one dominant style (cited by Garner-O’neale & Harrison, 2013.

Hence, Coffield, Moseley, Hall and Ecclestene (2009 ), concluded that there is little good evidence to suggest that teaching influenced by the idea of learning styles has a significant effect on achievement or motivation(cited in Surgenor, 2010). While Abu-Ayyash and Assaf, (2016) have agreed that a relationship exists between learning style and academic achievement, but it is weak. Ellis (2008) went on to say that “at the moment there are few general conclusions that can be drawn from the research on learning style” (cited in Abu-Ayyash and Assaf, 2016). For that reason, there is a need for more comprehensive research to define the relationship between learning style and academic achievement.
