Programming Language and Future Career
Career-related discussions are something that my dad and I tend to have on the weekly basis, and have increased since changing my major to Management instruction Systems last year. Our latest discussion was on the phone about vocalise choice and the dos and donts when writing/typing topics and other documents, wretched forward in college as well as in my future career. What sparked up this conversation though was my dissatisfaction with a newsmonger I got on a paper from a peer review. The rumormonger stated that my choice of words were not scholarly or on the college level.It authentically got under my skin so I decided to turn to my go about it. I told him the situation, and I felt that my paper was scholarly and I wrote it in a way that my fellow classmates would understand. His response was, moving forward into my career, the choice of words I used really would forge a big part. As more advice he told me that having a larger vocabulary showed professionalism and know ledge. Throughout our discussion I became frustrated because I believed that as long as my audience understood what I was public lecture about it should not matter how simple the words were.Even though I knew what he aphorism was right I did not want to hear it, because I was frustrated about the comment. I wanted to tell him that I didnt care what he had to say after a while, but I have a lot of respect for my father. I knew what he was saying was right from experience being a computer programmer, where he is evermore in meetings and speaking in front of his colleagues. After we finish talking I still felt a little frustration, because I unploughed thinking back to the comment.I really was surprised by the valid points my father made about the situation because I was so set on the way I felt and my stubbornness took over. The discussion was really requisite though, initially I was not going to go back and reedit my paper but my father words really made sense. I believe he was right the choice of words you choose can really go a long way. The advice I took from our discussion to help me in my future career was to continue practicing and improving my writing skills.
