<p>THis college askes me for my dream job and I can write a sentence about it.</p>
<p>I want to do something related to international service</p>
<p>Putting “Something related to international service” sounds ignorant?? I am not sure what I want to yet I just have a vague idea…</p>
<p>or can I just say international service?</p>
<p>I think that considering its your college app and it’s something you really want to do, you ought to put a bit more thought than “international service”. Show the college you really care, albeit if it’s only in a sentence.</p>
<p>oh but I don’t know what I want to do yet… Just know that I am interested in international service:(</p>
<p>True, but you don’t necessarily have to specify your dream job in the sentence. Try something along the lines of “I want to assist others and make a global impact by working in a vast multitude of countries through international service”. Be concise, but eloquent.</p>
<p>sounds awesome can I take that</p>
<p>I don’t necessarily mind, but I don’t take responsibility for the consequences either. (Just trying to save myself from blame haha). I’m a junior anyways, I’m not applying to colleges, so be my guest.</p>
<p>Okay don’t tell anyone this is a secret</p>
<p>the term is awfully vague. Missionary? Mercenary? Cabin attendant?</p>
<p>The OP probably is interested in International Relations or Diplomacy and wishes to work for the government abroad. I’m speculating that’s the intent.</p>
<p>Thanks IndianOptimist…But I don’t think that’s what I want to do.
But then, I don’t know what I want to do.</p>
<p>What about saying</p>
<p>I hope to find this out at xyz school? Is this lame?</p>
<p>Sure, if it’s a liberal arts school - then that’s what it’s all about - education through self discovery.</p>
<p>No if you’re trying to get into a engineering, nursing, business (pre-professional) school.</p>
<p>It’s for USC!</p>
<p>So
I am going to put
“I hope to find this out at USC”</p>
<p>Okay?
It sounds Okay
Doesn’t it?</p>
<p>Yes
I am paranoid about my college apps.</p>
<p>Or </p>
<p>Taking out “this”</p>
<p>and just
I hope to find out at USC</p>
<p>sounds better?</p>
<p>I think I’d want more from a kid if I was asking them to describe their dream job. </p>
<p>In this dream job, WHERE would you be? Greenland? Panama? Paris? Siberia?</p>
<p>WHAT would you be wearing? Khaki jacket with pockets and epaulets? Stilletos?</p>
<p>WHO would you be speaking to? Tribal chief? UN executive? School children?</p>
<p>WHEN would you be working? Dark of night? Crack of dawn? Leisurely lunch?</p>
<p>Would you be fluent in another language? Where would you dine? Five stars or street kebabs?</p>
<p>I’m not sure if you are going for Indiana Jones, Mata Hari, Coco Chanel or Sir Richard Branson or James Bond – or Dr. Doolittle. I think you have some ideas and either are too shy or too lazy to drag them out! Hey, the question is about a dream job. Be bold! Say something!</p>
<p>How about something along the lines of “I am not entirely sure at the moment, but I wish to be involved in a field related to International Service in my future.”?</p>
