What’s next for me career wise?
I’m really not sure. I do want to stay in the same industry but I want to go in another direction. I want to become an analyst for my company. It seems like you need an advanced degree to get into those positions. I’ve considered several schools and programs. One that I’m considering is a Masters in organizational development from Gonzaga online.
The program information looks informative and very promising. One of the career tracts that the degree can lead to is a Management Analyst, which is right up my alley. If I don’t want to become an analyst, this can also lead to a consulting position. I can also look into a getting a Masters in Organizational Leadership instead. The leadership tract opens up many more career choices. It also teaches you how to influence others while achieving the goals of your company. This is one skill that I am definitely lacking in. I usually have good ideas but I’m unable to take the leadership of the idea and articulate those ideas.
It’s a hard decision because I have to devote both the time and the money to going back to school. But I think it will be worth it in the end. I just have to make sure I make the right choice for me and my career goals.
