Earning Potential
Future earning potential is worth considering. ③__________ While college can pay you back in many ways beyond salary, this can be a major factor for students who are paying their own way or taking out loans. According to , the majors that lead to the highest salaries include just about any type of engineering, computer science, physics, government, and economics. ④__________ That six figure salary may not be worth it if you're not happy at the office.
⑤__________

When Miguelina meets with people looking for jobs, she will tell them that the most important thing they can do is ask themselves for help in getting the job they need.
One time, she felt so impressed that things would work out for a man. She then began to work helping him with job searching. A short time later, the man found a new job.
Working as an employment specialist, Miguelina has the chance to help people regularly.
"Any career that helps you serve others is a special career," Miguelina said. "It not only helps us by serving others, but also helps others take care of needs in their own lives. This improves their lives and helps them live better. This is what I love most about it."
Before being called as an employment specialist, however, Miguelina didn't even know that the employment centre had existed. She had no idea what she should do in her career. As she studied and learnt, she discovered what she could do. She decided to take over the Career Workshop(就业讲习班) the employment centre offered so she could get a better idea of what people were learning.
She learnt so much from the Career Workshop. Now the first thing she tells those who come to her finding employment help is to sign up for the Career Workshop.
Because of her successful experience of the workshop, Miguelina helps others look for jobs, or better education chances, or small-business chances. She helps people find short training classes to give them the skills they need to find better jobs. Miguelina helps people in all areas of life from practical advice to encouragement.
"Her work is important to many people. Her love and devotion to the work have helped them get a better quality of life," said Lisette Villalona, area manager of the employment centre. "She has made a success that can only be achieved through love."
