WHAT I CAN DO WITH MY MATHS DEGREE

I have come to understand that there are a lot of opportunities out there for people with math degree and its important for me to choose a career that is best suited for me. This requires me to think about my future and urges me to make plans and objectives/goals. During the summer vaccation I plan to find an part-time job that would sharpen and develop my professional skills and also provide me with exposure of what it actually means to work. This also requires me to put my priorities in order and identify my personal values. My first priority is towards my degree then from there everything is to support my degree. A part-time job will hopefully provide an environment and setting I would encounter when I start working. My assumption is that I will encounter challenges that would prepare me develop my career path. It would probably be best to come up with some personal objectives for part-time job experience so that I can benefit as much as possible from the opportunity that would have presented its self.

Regarding my plans, I have decided to focus my attention on goals that are easier to accomplish (this would be goals that do not require a lot of travelling around or those that need a lot of resource that are not very easy to get hold of) and arrange objectives or goals in order of importance. This would help me to organise them into a simple schedule as I can not attempt all the goals at once. In this way, I would hopefully have ample time to accomplish all my goals. Starting with simple and easier things also seems like a good idea because I would spend least amount of time in those activities. This would also provide motivation to address more challenging objectives.

At the moment, I need to actually be active in achieving my goals. I have set goals, but I have applied little or not enough effort to achieve these goals. Doing, what I had set out myself to do is what I need to do. I suppose, there would not be any benefit from having gone through such trouble of coming up with goals and plans and not do anything about making sure I do my best to achieve such goals. My plan is to put these career development goals into weekly schedule, so that atleast every week I try to achieve something valuable. For other, long and more challenging goals I will have to break them up into smaller ones that would hope be easier to carry out.
