I am an eight year military veteran that attended college for two years after I graduated high school. I joined the military with the hopes of being able to continue my studies and have a career at the same time.

Completion in all forms of life, a higher education, equates to a better paying job or even better; a…

Professionals are ideally made up of people with high ethical standards, who have special knowledge and skills. The responsibility of people in certain occupations to the public is an important distinction from those who may participate in the fields of an amateur or non professional basis. For example if a homeowner hires a non licensed plumber to save money, he or she wouldn’t be able to hold this person to the same standards as a licensed professional in the same industry. People within some careers are at a much different level, as well as held to a higher degree of responsibility, than those doing the same thing as a hobby or on a more casual basis.

For example, only a professional physian with qualified credentials is permitted to treat patients as a medical doctor.…
