Introduction
Solving problems is one of the basic abilities everyone should have to excel in this world. Daily living activities are full of challenges which need us to make very crucial decisions to overcome them and be successful. To achieve our goals in life and be whoever we want to be, we should realize that the only factor which differentiates us with the successful people is how we make a decision on solving our immediate problems (Hicks, 2015). Sometimes it even demands to risk some of our personal interests to regain some ability and power. Most of the individuals in this society seek to be guided on how to solve problems affecting them. There are six basic steps which can be applied to conquer challenges and persevere through them effectively.
Defining the problem
This is the first step in solving any problem. The person affected with a problem needs to state clearly what the problem is and what he or she should aim to attain. In this scenario, I need to identify my main problem so that from the beginning I can be focused to attain the solution I need for my problem. I shall write down the problem so that I don't forget what I am supposed to focus on. My main problem which I need to outline is that the new office which is being offered and needs a master's degree level of education which I have not yet acquired. To worsen the situation the institution doesn't offer educational assistance, therefore, if I take the job I will be on my own educating myself. I will be using the largest portion of payment for my education. Also, it will be hard for me to work with professionals who are well equipped with their skills as they are master's owners yet am just a bachelor graduate. For this problem, I need to be well equipped and make a clear decision so that I don't mess up with my career. The critical part is the identification of the possible solution as the problem is already established.
Problem analysis
This is the second step in problem solving. Education is one of the basic key issues considered during employment. As per the scenario, the major problem is based on the educational level and acquiring of the education to meet certain skills required in a working with the institution. Acquiring masters' level of education is not a cheap program. It requires a lot of funds to cater for the studies and also personal needs for the individuals who are undertaking the master's skills provision program. Moreover, the start of the job is very urgent considering that is in doing bachelor's final exam in the time I am being required to be present for the job. The problem is worsening that I won't even have time to find funds which I can join the master's class to make sure that I acquire the knowledge and skills required by the job. It is good that they offer a justifiable salary but when it comes to funds for the provision of the knowledge the funds are not enough to take me through the education as I need to pay for it in sums to access the facilities for master's degree.
