When it relates to finding a career, the dream is to end up doing something you lovesomething you are passionate about. However, passion is only one ingredient in the recipe for a satisfying career. A surprising number of students at Dixie State University are still undecided. According to the records at Dixie State University, 14 percent of students have undecided majors. The pressure is high for young adults to figure out what they want to spend the rest of their life doing. This pressure can lead many to have anxiety and to put off deciding a field of study as long as pos- , !, ,: , 1 , ,, r ', ' ney of , of the Frn ' , ' , Kyle Wells, dean of the school of business, says passion, rewards, and market value are three key components to having a rewarding career. Social Media Editor Emily Fisher says implementing these three components in decisions can help decrease anxiety students get from trying to figure out what career they want. a comfortable living as a nents are combined. , "A perfect balance is different for every indi- vidual," Wells writes. I worry much of my direction at school was motivated by a want to make money instead of taking a journey to realize what my gifts and passions are. I'm slowly learning how to realize these things, and as I integrate my gifts and passions into my work, lift manager alone. What if this person is gifted at math and money manage- ment? They wouldn't feel fully satisfied in a posi- tion that doesn't utilize their gifts. It's hard to say what this individual's ideal career would look like, but it could fall somewhere along the lines of an ac- countant for a ski resort, where all three compo- - EQUALITY '" r e It ,tr, , I , continued from page 4 L, - t 1 i ,- -,t, - , , -,,, ., - 1 , $, ' 4,,,, 't..- $ TO' ....,.....,,,,,, .

From a male's perspective, this does not look like gender equality. If anything, it feels to me females are given handicaps because they are perceived as weaker and in need of special rules to succeed or even keep up. While playing in these coed intramural games, I feel I am making a more concerted effort following these gender-specifi- c rules and including women, than I am actually playing and competing. Although the intended purpose behind the rules may be a noble one, there are female participants of these coed sports that don't want to spend the game being catered to because gender-- specific m education major freshman general to get the ball.

By trying a lot of different pasttimes, I've come to learn I deeply en- joy writing and conceptual thinking. However, money seems to run our lives and the sad truth is, some of us may end up being wildly financially successful, but still not feel fulfilled. Wells me ,tions in his article many financially successful people find I they are female. "It is very frustrating," said Abby Henderson, a sophomore nursing major from West Jordan. "I feel as if I am a relatively athletic girl, and when these handicaps are applied, it makes me feel like people think I'm not capable of competing at a certain level." As gender equality continues to reach every corner of society, I hope that it will wash away all of the ways women are still perceived as weaker or in need of extra help. As long as we continue to treat women subjacent in any way, the complete implementation of gender equality will never be fully instituted into society. Rules for males and females should not be separate; they should be equal. Women did not get to where they are today by being OK with being treated differently, they did so by working just as hard as men and not backing down when perceived as weaker. The U.S. has come so far, so let the push for equality continue to sweep little satisfaction in their jobs. In fact, according to a study called Interior Lives of Corporate Lead- ers done by the William & Mary Law School, CEOs are depressed at more than double the rate of the gen- eral public. Getting a degree is important, but the words on your degree shouldn't confine you to a particular industry or career path. ROLES continued from page 4 Wells wrote that in today's age, it isn't uncommon for someone to not only change jobs, but change entire fields of work. "Ultimately, a career choice is more of a journey than a destination," Wells wrote. "It is a delicate balance of finding happiness and contentment in the present, while diligently preparing for the next portunity." se while maintaining order and control at home. Our mothers watched out and g cared for the of the children, while being emotionally supportive to every individual in the well-bein- an assistant professor in the psychology de- partment, said, "As an example, it's more acceptable now for women to ask men out on dates and for women proposing marriage to men." Shelby Yung, a senior communication major from Upland, California, said it should be normal for men in relationships to show emotion. Yung said she knows some women who want their men to have a sensitive side and be willing to talk about how they feel. "It doesn't make me think of men any differently if they are emotional or want to share their feelings," Yung said. For some people, like myself or Ross Salanoa, a junior CIT major from Laie, Hawaii, we grew up under a traditional relationship between our parents. Our dads were the ones that worked in the business world, family. The traditional roles for men and women have their good and bad aspects. I believe each couple ought to find what works best for them in each and every situation. Maybe it is necessary for the female to work because the male can't find work or for the man to show compassion and tenderness in a difficult time for the woman. Salanoa said: "Every situation is different; when I got married, I had initially thought that I would always work and my wife would stay at home with the kids. Due to attending school, I kind of had to take a step back and Let my wife go back to work." Whatever style or balance a couple has, they need to make it work because each relationship is different. Roles should be defined, but flexible at the same time. |
