For our assignemnt, we must come up with 4 jobs we would want to pursue :
• Short Term: This will be a job that you would like to do while you are in school as either a summer job or as coop student.
• Medium Term or Early Career: This will be a position that you would like to do as soon as you graduate and continue to grow into for the next 2 or 3 years after graduation. Note: This Medium Term position should build on your Short term position.
• Long Term: This would be a position that you think you would like to do around 5 years or so after graduation. Note: This Long Term position should build on your medium term position.
• Totally off the wall or bizarre job. A job that is not connected to your short, medium or long term career but rather one that sounds awesome for you and hits on all of your personal values.


I am currenlty in the business program and i would want to be an accountant one day. For my short term I am thinking of banking? Can anyone help me think of a medium and long term job that will relate to my short term job also the bizarre job? I just need idea because currenlty i am clueless. keep in mind I will have to actually find these jobs online and provide my teacher with links. thanks :)

It sounds like your long term goal might be a CPA in a prestigious firm. Medium range might include banking or income tax preparer.

Bizarre? TV anchor? Cowgirl? Jockey at the Kentucky Derby? U.S. Senator? What are your fantasies?

Answered by Ms. Sue
Another thought. You may want to start in an entry level position in a prestigious accounting firm.

ok so lets say my long term is becoming an accountant, now what will my short term and medium terms be?
are there any titles for theses jobs because i need to look them up?
Answered by Ms. Sue
You should probably start with an entry level job in a large accounting firm.
