The next series of posts on this blog will look at the three key parts of your degree completion decision: “who you are”, careers, and universities. 
Source: Your Future is Calling. The book is a road map for you to earn your degree quickly and efficiently. It is important that you do the work to find the right fit for you. Think of your task as if you were shopping for a new pair of shoes. You have to shop around to find out what is available. You have to try on the shoes to make sure they don’t hurt your feet. You have to look at them in the mirror. You have to examine the price tag to see if you can afford them. The important point is that, in the end only you can tell if those new shoes fit you. The only difference here is that the new shoes you are shopping for (your degree) you will wear every day for the rest of your life, and if they do not fit, they will not only hurt your feet, they will create pain in every part of your life.
It is important to begin at the beginning – with “who you are”. The BUZZ Today talks about why it all needs to start with you.
“Who you are”: In many ways we are all different. Our lives and experiences mold us. What I enjoy may not at all appeal to you. I like standing in a cold, fast flowing stream and casting a fly over and over again trying to tempt a trout I cannot even see into biting on a glob of thread and feathers only to release the fish once I have landed him in a net.
Most of you would not find this appealing at all. Some might find it revolting, even barbaric. But that is exactly the point. We are all different. What motivates each of us to do what we do, to be “who we are” is very much about each of us.
When it comes to deciding on a degree, a college, a career you need to start with yourself. In the end, all of these have to fit you, just as the shoes in the BUZZ Today have to fit you. No one else can tell you if they fit. You have to try them on. To do that you have to have good information. We will come back to this in posts here over the weeks and months to come.
