"DECIDING A CAREER"

I am writing my first post on my blog.

After a lot of thought process (4 years) i want something to share. The post is based on my personal experience and intend to guide or say help out youngsters to choose the right path for their future. (Unfortunately which i wasn't able to do) I want the fellow readers not to repeat the mistakes that i did. Well here it goes...

Choosing the right career can be a very daunting task especially in a world which offers an array of paths, all of which seem to be leading to a golden goal.  Careers can actually make or break one’s life, so it is important to make the right choice. And the choice which one takes is based on many parameters (friends, family, media etc.) which contribute a lot. First of all, you can’t possibly be expected to know what you want to do with the rest of your life when you’re a teenager. There are plenty of 30-year old out there who can’t answer that question, as well as fifty year old too! There are also no hard and fast rules for how many times in your life you can change careers. So how do you go about choosing the right career for you?

Deciding what you want to do at a young age can help you to focus your attention. Experts say the best place to start is by thinking about and even making a list of the things you like to do. If you like to take things apart to see how things work, you may want to be an engineer. If you like to write you can be a journalist or a sports reporter or a documentation specialist. If you enjoy working with people you might consider teaching or nursing. If you want to be outside, you might look at landscape architecture or working as a forester or park ranger. Today the curriculum of schools has also been modified so much that you can judge you interest at very early stage. A plethora of curricular & extra curricular activities which we do at school, has any one given a serious thought to it???? Some students find it interesting to go for competitive exam, but they avoid performing on stage on annual day function and vice versa.

Think about what you like to do, make a list, and be honest with yourself. Once you have determined what it is you enjoy doing, it’s time to do some research into career opportunities that require those skills. With advancement of time & evolution of technology this process of research for career opportunities has evolved a lot. Today’s youth can get every details of avenues they want choose, they have got the most powerful tool to “google” up a question and see the prospects they have in a respective field & the required skills for the same.

Pursue your hobby as career, and you will definitely excel in it coz your hobby is the thing which you love to do willingly without the peer or parents pressure. 

I will end with the dialogue of Rancho (3 idiots), “kamiyab nahi kabil bano, phir kamiyabi khud ba khud tumhare peeche aayegi” is something one can follow religiously.
