Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is of most importance when it comes to education and the work force. Each decision we make whether it's choosing the right answer on a test, or choosing a career to get into, always involves thinking critically. Not being able to do so may result in poor decisions being made.

In my life, I only think critically in school because I don't have a job. Whenever I take a test I have to really think back to what I've learned in order to come up with the correct answer. If a class is too easy, I'm not thinking critically. As a result, I'm not learning anything. Once I'm through with college and I want to choose a career to get into, I'll have to think critically about which areas I'm skilled in. If I simply choose one based on how much money I'll get, I may end up regretting the decision I made if I turn out to be unhappy in the end.
