Still researching career options while I’m working on my MBA.
What are some career fields or job titles to explore for someone who thrives on deadline-oriented work? I do SO well in deadline-driven environments where I can “check the box” and finish specific tasks as quickly and effectively as possible.
For example, I love the WGU MBA environment and feel so motivated and energetic with the structure of the program. I finished all my papers except the capstone in less than 30 days and so far have passed every test, paper and project on the first attempt. I received perfect/top scores on all my graded papers and projects so far. My mentor is so impressed by my pace and focus in the program.
I have always done especially well on time-pressured tests like the ACT.
At home, in my businesses, and in my personal projects, I live by my to-do list and have no problem accomplishing whatever’s on it.
However, I tend to struggle in work environments that involve routine tasks, where there are no deadlines and no “box” to check, just the same routine work over and over with no end point. These sorts of environments tend to leave me feeling unfulfilled and unmotivated. I struggle even more with schedule-oriented environments (which is why B&M college did not work out for me- I was failing courses due to attendance, even though all my test and project scores were excellent.)
Any suggestions for fields or positions to look into that would incorporate my skills and preferences? Thanks
