My goal is to become an accountant. I believe this is a good fit for me because I have always been interested in math. Not only that but it’s a very reachable career to get and if I continue to get good grades it will significantly boost my chances of becoming a successful accountant. Last but not least, accounting and being an accountant in general is something I have been interested in over the years.

The college I plan on attending is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or MIT for short. This is the perfect college to attend because it is a prestigious and well known university, not only that but it has a great accounting program which can be used to make me an accountant. The major I would like to take would be an accounting major. For obvious reasons this is the best major for me if I want to become an accountant.

Now, the reasons why I believe I could get into a university as prestigious as MIT is my 4.0 grade point average. That isn’t the only reason though I take advanced classes in math and ela while being younger than everyone else. The reason why I am younger than everyone else is because I skipped 5th grade and went from 4th into 6th. Lastly, I am a functioning member in my community and even work at the family business occasionally.

In conclusion, if you are to take anything away from this essay, remember that I want to major in accounting to become an accountant. Don’t take only that way, remember that I want to attend the prestigious university MIT. Lastly, don’t forget my achievements and accomplishments that I listed. This entire essay when put together shows why I want to become an accountant and how I plan on becoming one.

One of the career paths that I got that was interesting was engineering. To be more specific it was an Aerospace Engineer. To be an Aerospace Engineer I need at least a Bachelor's Degree in Physics or a related field of study. Most Aerospace Engineers do end up going back and getting their masters though.

Not much surprises me about my results. The main thing that surprises me are some of those jobs. My strengths and weaknesses were pretty spot on and didn’t surprise me a lot. The only other things that surprised me were some of the famous people with the architect type personality. That is all that really surprised me or didn’t surprise me.

Some of the careers suggested for my personality type are project manager, systems engineers, marketing strategists, systems analysts, and military strategists. I personally do not see myself going into any of the jobs if any at all. I don’t know what it is those jobs just don’t really appeal to me.

The first of my weaknesses is being arrogant. It says that architects can be blind to have others input at certain times or be harsh at peoples inputs. The next weakness is being dismissive of emotions. It says that rationality is king to architects so emotions aren’t as important. This honestly applies to me a lot sometimes. The last of my weaknesses is being overly critical. It says that sometimes architects can be rude or critical of people who are trying to help without even knowing it or not trying to. That was three of my weaknesses.

The first of my strengths listed is being rational. Rationality fits me pretty well. Being rational is always something good to be. According to the personality test, being rational gives you the ability to think straight and come up with solutions to complex problems. The next strength is being independent. Obviously being independent means you can do things on your own without a lot of help if any.

My third strength listed is being determined. It says in the personality test that being determined means you are ambitious and goal-oriented. Another thing it says is that “whenever an idea or pursuit comes to their imagination, architects dedicate themselves to mastering the subject and becoming skilled in it.”

The next strength listed is being curious. Being curious to them means that you are open to new ideas and want to learn more about things. Which honestly is a pretty good description of being curious. The last strength is being versatile. Being versatile to me and the personality test means you can succeed in a wide range of things. Those were five of my strengths from the personality test.

When taking the personality test not very many things stood out to me. The major thing that stood out to me was how my love for knowledge was a 66. This stood out to me not because it was high but because I expected it to be even higher than it was. My independence I noted was high which according to the personality quiz means adjusting to college will be much easier. Now this makes sense because in college you're mostly on your own from there. The last thing that stood out to me was how my participant learner category was a 39. Now I personally believe that is higher than it should be. It also means that I wouldn’t do as well in a really small college and I might be better off at a bigger school.

The number one thing that will prevent me from going to college is the price of it. If I don’t get a scholarship I don’t think I could afford 70 thousand dollars a year to pay for college. I would have to work part-time jobs while in college which would give me less time to study and actually enjoy college. I also really don’t want to work multiple part-time jobs while I am in college. That is the number one thing that would prevent me from going to college.

Something I learned about college from my research is just how expensive it is. That is probably one of the things that stood out to me the most also. I went into this thinking college was expensive but not 79 thousand dollar expensive for tuition and housing on campus. Not only that It seems like 70 thousand dollars is like the average for college that’s 280 thousand dollars for four years of college. That is what stood out to me the most.

Some other things I learned was that private schools aren’t always way better than public schools. Not only that but I learned that there are a lot of majors to choose from. For example, Ohio State University which is easier to get into then Boston University has close to the same graduation rate and job placement rate. There are also a lot of times when public schools are way better than private schools. When I brought up that there were a lot of majors earlier I meant it. Some colleges have over 100 majors to choose from. Those are just a few of the things I learned so far when researching colleges.

The college I liked the least was no doubt Kenyon College. You needed college prep courses and recommendations to even get in. Then it’s 63,060 dollar tuition doesn’t help out much. Especially when there are better colleges out there for cheaper. That is why Kenyon College was my least favorite college or university I researched.

If I am being totally honest the college I liked the best was Ohio State University. The reasons why I liked it was its job placement rate wasn't bad and its graduation rate was pretty good. The thing I like the most about it though was how affordable it was. Compared to all the fancy schools its tuition is dirt cheap. Not only that but as I said earlier a 78 percent job placement rate really isn’t that bad. That is why I like Ohio State University the best out of my four colleges.

The first thing that stood out to me when researching in-state and out-of-state colleges were that private schools have a significantly higher graduation rate and job placement rate on average. For example, Princeton University a private school had a 96.5 percent job placement rate with a 98 percent graduation rate. While Ohio State University has a 78 percent job placement rate with a 86 percent graduation rate. That was just something that stood out to me while researching colleges.

# data[].attributes.body
Another thing that stood out to me while researching colleges was just how expensive tuition was in private schools. For example tuition in Princeton was 53,890 dollars a year. Another private school named Kenyon College has tuition at a staggering 63,060 dollars a year. While Ohio State University a public university had tuition at around 11,936 for in-state and 35,019 dollars for anyone not from Ohio. That was just something that really stood out to me when I was researching my four colleges.
