WE need education in our everyday lives because we now live in a civilization that is beyond the nomadic times. Thus, our society has assigned each one of us to have roles here on earth. The noblest role is that of a farmer. A farmer is the one who harvests crops and livestock and milks cows so we can have something to eat. But farmers nowadays are professionals. Thus, you need to have a degree in agronomy so you can be professionally employed at any company like Monsanto. And if you want to work in companies like Nestle or Wyeth, you need to have a degree in animal science. Or if you want to work in such companies as Deere, you need to have a degree in agricultural engineering. And if you want to work in a food and beverage giant, you need to have a degree in food technology, nutrition or chemistry.

Or if your idol is Bill O’ Reilly, Shepard Smith or Richard Roeper, you may want to have a degree in mass communications. Or if you want to be a movie director or a movie critic like Roger Ebert or Sofia Coppola, you may want to have a degree in filmmaking. There are of course other things that you need to do so you can be a full-fledged professional in the field that you are choosing. You may want to hasten your degree and be a professional communicator or journalist by taking up a master’s degree or a doctoral degree in that field.

If you want to become an electronics and communications engineer, then you may be studying sonar technology. Who knows, you will either be employed in the Navy or NASA in the future. Then there are still various fields that will be of importance to you once you are promoted or given importance. If you want to become a priest, you still need education. If you are Catholic, then you will be having a degree in theology and be an expert in Canon law. Or else you may want to become a doctor and there are several sub-professions in the field of medicine.

The field of medicine is surely one of the trendiest fields in the United States. It is so that way because there are very different and diverse needs of persons here as far as their medical concerns are at stake. If you want to become a pediatrician, then you need to study first a degree as a bachelor, then take the doctoral degree and after that, you have to have one-year residency at an accredited medical facility before you can be enrolled in a specialized field like being in pediatrics. Or you may want to be in geriatrics and take care of the elderly. That’s sure to be a lucrative field here too.

After all, there are a lot of elderly persons in the United States who are either in nursing homes, at home or in hospitals. It sure is a vast area out there for opportunities if you are in the field of geriatrics and physical care. Maybe there are a lot of foreign medical practitioners who are craving to be here in the United States such as those ones coming from Brunei or the Philippines but locals will be the one who are appreciated by big employers instantly.
