Chapter 3 questions and reactions
1. "Our society sends mixed messates about being smart."
This quote relates to me because I feel the same way. Sometimes it feels as if i'm the only person that feels a certain way until I read this quote. There's always someone out there trying to tell you what to do or what's being smart. Most people think just because they have a college degree that they can tell anyone what to do.
2."The Students who are serious and thoughtful never seem to be the cool or popular ones."
I agree with this quote because that's how the environment of School is. Most people want to associate with people with the best personality as opposed to the best grades. The popular ones tend to get bad grades while the non popular kids succeed in life. This quote is a reality in every school in America.
3."Good thinking will help change how you interpret a situation".
I agree with this quote because those that think smart or deeply will have the best outcome. Second this helps in a job environment as well because no one wants to be around a dummy. Thinking good is what you need around a team environment. The work space requires deep thinkers and those who can handle difficult situations.

Chapter One 3 Quotes and Paragraphs
1."What do I do with this degree?"
This quote is meaningful to me because sometimes people are still unsure about their future once they get their degree. Second this quote is meaningful to me because once I get my degree I'll be asking the question. I'll be asking the same question because I wouldn't know where to start my career path. Most colleges don't set you up for interviews with companies once you graduate so you're on your own without any resources.
2."Reality doesn't always match up to that traditional linear career path".
This quote is meaningful to me because people sometimes change their career path throughout life. I'm majoring to become a teacher, but then again I want to be a Juvenile Counselor. Most people don't have jobs matching their majors. Throughout life people tend to change their minds.
3. "Right about now you're probably thinking that pursuing an education that directly relates to a career, and vice versa, seems so stable and easy. Wouldn't it make more sense to follow a more direct path?"
This is meaningful to me because I always get caught up with having an education under my belt, but I'm not really happy with this decision. Second parents can influence a child to make their career decision. To follow a direct path would be easier because then you'll be satisfied with the results. The career goal seems so stable, but now alot of people are being layed off and fired so it doesn't seem secure any longer.
