Personal PerspectiveEssay Preview: Personal PerspectiveReport this essayPersonal PerspectiveThe objective of this paper is to answer the following questions: How did I decide to pursue my Master in Business Administration (MBA) and What do I expect to gain from completing my MBA program? After 6 years of weighing the pros and cons of obtaining my master’s, I finally decided that it would be the next step I would take in my life. Organizations are looking for people who know how to take action, solve problems and provide leadership. I believe I have these skills and the one’s I don’t have I can learn by obtaining my MBA.
I received my undergraduate degree in Sociology/ Criminal Justice in 2001 from Norfolk State University. I then went back to school and obtained my certification as a Peace Officer in the State of Colorado in 2003 from Arapahoe Community College. I began working in community corrections, law enforcement and human services which are all low paid stressful careers. I have numerous friends who I believe have less work to do on their jobs and are less stressed, however, make more money then I do. After using my degree and certification and realizing that I was not making the kind of money in 6 years that I had planned on making at an entry level position. I have come to the conclusion that having my bachelor’s degree in liberal arts is like having high school diploma.
I recently read the title of this article on the “Fluctuations in the Family” series by the Washington Post and wondered if that might have some relevance. Perhaps a “small but significant” correlation between the growth of the family economy and the income of top 3% householders is an element that might be helpful to readers who are concerned not only about how much their kids earn but how many children receive a pension by the year they turn 17.
It may be that the family is becoming increasingly important, or perhaps more important than the income, but is this good news for young people? How often do I see new, highly educated, highly committed, highly effective, highly successful family members in a family with just-right family values? In some ways, that seems to be the case with this new generation of high school graduates.
One of the key findings is that as young people are getting older, their job responsibilities and career choices are more like that of an adult:
Young family members are more effective in finding out, teaching, and serving the needs of the elderly people, people with disabilities
Because these individuals find support and are often well-equipped to provide for their own needs, they make decisions more in line with their values.
However, while this may appear to be the case for people who are middle and upper class, there is evidence that families of different generations experience the same challenges even in their younger years as well. For example, consider the example that the family at the top and lowest paid income level are actually less focused on finding ways people can make ends meet. While the top earned $834K for a family of three, the family at the lower end was even less focused on finding ways to provide for its own needs.
There is indeed a sense of self-esteem among some young people that they are better equipped to provide and support the needs and needs of the elderly. The story of “the family of David” begins with a family that was rich and well-connected while at home who were not able to afford the medical bills that their families were forced to pay. These young people, as well as a family that used to be well-organized and prosperous, are now struggling to make things work. Many are concerned with family finances, which is what worries people who are young to know that their younger relatives are not just less productive than their older relatives in terms of their ability to pay.
While most families in this scenario would be able to make ends speak for themselves, many have struggled to make ends meet. The family at the top of the income and salary scale in this group of young people faced one problem. While the family made an extremely successful, and high-paying, career transition in 1999 from a full-time job in a home maintenance company, no middle child’s job became available. Although the family’s wages were significantly higher than what any of their senior peers made, the family still had not given up on working with their seniors and children. Yet, the

A good friend of mine graduated from the University of Illinois in 2003 with her MBA and reported to me that she had a job and she was making approximately $65,000.00. According to (Discover News, 2007) “the average salary ranged from $64,500 to $98,000 a year in 2007” for a Human Resource Manager Position (Employment-Related Services (Career Area A).) I had become frustrated with the degree I had chosen to obtain and knew something had to be done. I had previously been looking on websites and in newspapers for jobs; I noticed that human resources had a great deal of open good paying positions. I also thought back to the conversation with my friend as to how much she was making. I then began taking action by looking at numerous schools to see what MBA programs offered. I had been in contact with the University of Phoenix for at least 2 years and kept putting off getting started in their MBA program. The enrollment counselor did an excellent job in following up
