Choosing Your Path no comments
If you had a choice, what career will you pursue?
Most college graduates end up working on jobs they are not trained for. Other courses have a variety of job options to choose from. If you have not yet decided which career to pursue, these questions might help:
- Is money / salary a high priority?
- Is it urgent for me to get a job? (this implies that money is high priority at the moment)
- Is it important for me to focus on my field of expertise, or am I open to learn a new skill?
- Do I want to travel, or do I prefer to be assigned on one location only?
- Do I want to be of help to the community? (involvement in academic institutions, foundations or non-government organizations may be it)
- Am I ok with an eight-to-five job, or do I want a more flexible work schedule?
- Do I want a stay-at-home job or business?
Whatever path you choose, as long as you are passionate about what you do, you can never go wrong.
