Best Careers of the 21st Century

The highest paying and fastest growing jobs of the 21st Century include the following (in no order): software developer, physical therapist, civil engineer, petroleum engineer, medical scientist, medical physician/surgeon, dental hygienist, registered nurse, computer systems analyst, and management analyst. These jobs pay anywhere in the range from $70,000 to $170,000 per year. They are also in very fast growing industries in today's society. I myself want to be a nurse, so based on my research, I feel that I am in a very good place. I believe that when I come out college with a bachelor's degree in nursing, I will be able to find a job without too much struggle. Maybe one day I can even go back to school to become a nurse practitioner, and make even more money. 

  

The Google Takeover

The "Google Takeover" is a very real and impending occurrence. Google, a multi-billion search engine-based internet company, has recently executed a tactic known as vertical integration. This tactic employs a company buying out every aspect of a certain industry. The industry in this case is the internet itself. Google has grown from just a mere search engine. It is now an e-mail provider, a web browser, a cell phone manufacturer, a computer manufacturer, a research database, a cloud storage network, a map, a news provider, a finance broker, a calendar, a library, a video player, a blogging site, and a social network. Those are just some of the things I could come up with off of the top of my head. As a matter of fact, I am a prime example of this Google takeover. For example, I am writing on Blogger, a Google blogging site, which is connected to my Gmail account, an e-mail provider by Google, while I am on Google Chrome, a web browser made by Google. As you can clearly see, the "Google Takeover" is not just a possibility, it is a reality.  

My College Plans

For college, I plan on going somewhere to study nursing, and do NROTC so that when I graduate, I will be an officer in the United States Navy in the Navy Nurse Corps. I have already applied to the Florida State University, the University of Maine, the University of Virginia, and Villanova University for early action. I will also be applying to the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences for early action and Boston College for regular decision in the near future. My reaches are the University of Virginia and Boston College. My two targets are the Florida State University and Villanova University. My two safety schools are the University of Maine and MCPHS. The school I want to go to the most is Villanova University, because it has an excellent nursing program, and one of the best NROTC units in the nation. It also has a really cool campus, and I think that I will fit in well there. I'm not going to lie, this time has been pretty stressful on me, between having to get everything in, take all the tests, and still get good grades on top of that. I'm getting it done, though, and I know I will get through it.
