Critical Thinking Reflection

Will receiving a college degree improve your career opportunities? I feel that once you earn your college degree that will open many doors for you. Earning a college degree will improve many of opportunities when it comes to your career. The main reason that I say this is because majority of the jobs out here, you are not able to get if you do not have any type of degree or certification. But once you receive that degree you can get a job in whatever it is that you plan on becoming. There are so many jobs out here, but you are not able to get them unless you have a degree in that field. No having a degree means that you will either end up working in fast food or a textile mill, which is something that I do not plan on doing for the rest of my life. Another advantage of having a degree is that you will make more money than you would, working at a fast food restaurant or in a textile mill. I know that once I receive my degree it will mean more than something to place on the wall, but it will help me not only better my future but better the future for my children. Which is more important to me than anything, I would love for them to have that foundation to be able to stand on.
Having better critical thinking skills, really helped me with the content of this question. I have to really think about the answer to this question. This question wasn’t one of those where you can jump and answer it, you had to really think about it because there are some many answers to this question. The way that I plan to use critical thinking in other areas is to continue to follow the steps with me being a good critical thinker. Being that I was to be a Therapist I have to use critical thinking a lot when it comes down to my patients. I know not want to sit down and not use these skills, when my patient has a problem I want to be able to help them solve the problem that they are currently facing. The first step that I plan to continue to use is the five steps to solving problems, I really need these steps to help me get through my problems because normally I wouldn’t think my problem out before solving it which usually had good and bad effects. So now I realize that I need to use these to help me make better choices when it comes to solving a problem. Another thing is I plan to keep asking questions when someone says something that doesn’t seem right to me.
