Introduction

My name is Darryl Craig I’m doing an I search research paper to talk about what college would I like to attend and to choose a career that I think is best for me. First I want to tell you some things about my self I’ am 15 years old, I’m from New Orleans, La and I‘m a freshman at West Jefferson High School I play for my school’s football team. After high school my dream is to play college football and hopefully I will play professional football, but if I don’t play professional football as an adult then I will have a job as a top executive of a company. My two favorite colleges are LSU and Southern University I feel that these colleges will help me pursue a career in either business or in football, and they will prepare me for life after college. I want to find out more about being a top executive I hope that I can learn about this profession and become successful at it. There are a lot of things that I would like to find out, What a top executive really is?, How much is the salary?, Can top executives own a business ?, How much education would I need to have this job?, and many more questions. I think that a top executive is someone who is in charge of the company and all of the company’s finances, and I believe this could be true because of the persons’ title “top executive”. Any career that deals with someone in charge of a corporation has to have a large salary, and I can believe that the work hours are long but at the end of week it’s worth it. I also believe that top executives can own a business because of experience of being charge of a business. In my research I know that I will find out how to become a hard worker in a busy and well organized company with training and experience. In most careers there is training for employees, and certain titles are earned until a person has worked for them in a number of years. Without researching I can predict that a top executive does a lot of training and it usually takes those years to learn about the company before they can lead it. Also I can predict that my career will have traveling all around the United States and even across the world, and while traveling I will have to represent for my company in a professional manner so that my company become partners with other company around the world. Having a career in business, I know that having a higher education is important for commutating and understanding your fellow co workers.

The Story of My Search

It was easy for me to find information about my college and career. First I did some of my research at school, and while at school I asked my teacher to help me use the best resources possible to finish my report. I spend hours, weeks, and days trying to figure out which career is best for me, and I choose a career that allows me to receive lots of money without doing hard labor and getting paid a low amount of money. Then I choose 2 colleges that I always dreamed of going to those two colleges were LSU and Southern University, and then I wrote information about the colleges’ admission, extra curricular activities, financial aid, and etc. Another reason why I choose these two colleges was because I always l loved there football teams, and I would like a chance to play for either LSU or Southern University. During the research of my career I learned a lot of things about my career that I didn’t know before. Some of the things I found out were just what I had predicted, and a lot of things I found out were very interesting I found out a lot of answers to my questions. While researching I found out more careers that deal with the career that I was researching and I was surprised to find out that my career was the one of the highest paying jobs in the world today. My career takes lots of skill, hard work, and determination, and I will have to do extra work after college to become a businessman.

Results After doing my research I discovered a lot about my career of being a top executive. I learned that top executives are people who work for a company, and plan or form strategies to make sure that their company’s objectives are met. There are three main types of top executives: chief executive officer, chief operating officer, and chief information officer I choose to be chief executive officer or (CEO). A Chief executive officer meets with other executives to make sure that operations are done in relation with the company’s policy. Other responsibilities for being a CEO is retain accountability, financial reporting, and to meet with other people to discuss the level of support for proposed programs. Some qualifications of being a top executive or CEO is you have to have a least a bachelor’s degree or graduate degree in business administration and in liberal arts. It is also important to be able to speak to people in a descent and professional manner, and most successful top executives are able to speak more than one language. I also find out during my research that top executives take lots of training programs to help them with their career. They take classes in computer science, how to run a business successfully, and how to speak to people to make them work for their business, and once they have taken training classes they then take exams to make sure they are ready for the job. The salary and working environment of being a top executive is long, but the pay is a very large amount. Top executives work in offices and their work hours are long weekdays and weekends, and they sometimes take business trip in the country or around the world depending on what company they work for. The salary is a minimum of $58,230 and a maximum of $128,580 dollars, but most top executives only can receive the maximum amount if they had years of being a top executive. Every successful company in the country relies on top executives to help organize and make sure that there is run properly, and I can just name a few companies in the United States who have top executives such as: General Motors Corporation, AIG, Microsoft, NFL, NBA, Foot Locker, etc. While finding information for my career I also found information on the two colleges I choose to go to. I have listed information for both Louisiana State University and Southern University.

 Reflection After learning about my career I now know what being a top executive is a about. I know that top executives get paid a lot of my money, and they need to receive years of education before they can become top executive. They need training on how to use computers and how to communicate with people in a professional manner, and I believe that I choose the best career for me because in this type of career you get to meet new and all different kinds of people. Anything I liked about my career was that you can take business trip, and travel around the world and I can take a vacation while on the job. I was very excited to learn about my career and the benefits of being a top executive. While learning about my career I also about the two colleges that I choose to attend. I found out that LSU has so many fun activities to do there: football, soccer, tennis, softball, tracks just to name a few. While Southern University had the same activities as LSU, but Southern University was easy to attend than LSU. LSU required me to have a least a 3.0 GPA to attended, so I know that I will have to study extra hard to be in LSU. I also will have to apply for TOPS to help with fees, supplies, and other things needed to be paid for in college. For me goal and dream is to attend LSU, but I can’t attend LSU then I will go to Southern University and pursue my career as a businessman.
