For people like myself, we already know what we want to do in the future. Currently, I am majoring in Sports Management so that I may be able to work in an area of sports that pertains to me. That is my dream for the future. However, that doesn't mean my knowledge or education has to end there. We should all want to learn more so that we may expand our thinking, far beyond the stigma of just being knowledgeable of one area of practice. This may otherwise enhance our social skills and over well being. We are then able to communicate with anyone we wish at any level of knowledge necessary for the people around us to understand and acknowledge that we too have an understanding of the overall subject. It is not only useful in that aspect, but it also gives someone a more empathetic look at the many angles of what people in that field have to accomplish.
Now contrary to popular belief or what I would rather call a "fixed" mindset, this is possible to do at whatever level of development you are currently proceeding through. In some cases, schools often have electives that you must choose. The reason for that isn't just so you can make the grades necessary to graduate, but more so that you may learn something different than what you may just be getting from basic classes such as math and science. It helps spark interest in another field that you otherwise would not have considered before, primarily because you are more situated in doing what you like to do first. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that. We all want to focus on the variables that are involved with what we want to do in the future. It is not always something that will hinder you by learning a new skill or concept. In fact, you may change your mind and want to move to that area of study. It can happen many times as you continue your life. For some college students like myself, we like to change our own major for something else we feel more suited for. You may even dual major so that you have two elements of study to work on. Gradually as we grow older too, we may even want to switch jobs for a more comfortable experience.
Acquiring such knowledge and skills could prove to be of great use to you as you carry on through your life. In doing so, it will also bring new views into the place you currently conduct your practice and give major positive additions possibly to the overall establishment itself. This enthusiastic thought brings up a special quote from Benjamin Franklin on learning more:
"If a man empties his
purse into his head,
no one can take it away
from him.
An investment in
knowledge always pays
the best interest."
Benjamin Franklin
