Selecting The Right Career

 

There was a time when any student's future plans revolved around becoming a doctor, a pilot or an engineer.These few disciplines were brought to be the only fields that could offer rewarding careers in terms of both respect and money. Resultantly, students were unaware of other opportunities that could, perhaps, have been more advantages.

• Today, life has become more dynamic and innovative.Gone are the days when the medical and engineering fields were the only available choices.Now a whole world of non-traditional careers,from IT, electronic media and web networking to online business portals and fashion designing,are available for the young people.
• However,there still remains the question of choosing the right profession.Unfortunately,for most of us the right career merely means a profession that guarantees a profitable livelihood,but considerations like interest in the job and mental satisfaction should be given importance.
• The scope of any field in terms of market demand should also be considered very seriously.We cannot practically deny the significance of hiring trends;for example,a decade ago when computer science professionals were in demand,masses of MCS(Master of Computer Sciences)students flooded the market with extremely disappointing results.
• Career counsellors are generally well informed about such trends.They can play a key role in guiding the youth towards a rewarding profession.This highlights the importance of a full-time,career-counselling department at the school level.Parents are unaware of market trends, educational systems and the scope of any particular discipline.Similarly 14-15 year old students are not mature enough to make such life-changing decisions.So it is widely felt that career counseling must be promoted from school level.
• Once a field has been selected,the next step is to enter that particular field.Which degrees,certifications,courses,and subjects should be opted for?A student should also consult successful students and professionals of that particular field.
• So before deciding on any career, make sure that you do not earn only money from your career but also mental peace and satisfaction.It is the only way to lead a hassle free professional life!
