Answer:
There are many powerful internal and external forces affecting our career choices. A career path is a roadmap of different jobs from where you are right now to where you hope to be in the future. The best and most fulfilling careers align with your unique talents, passions and skill sets. You may also be swayed by family members, teachers, coaches, bosses and mentors.
Explanation:
- Personal interest. This should be the most important factor in deciding which career you would take. Imagine doing something for the next 40 years that you abhor, you might as well choose a career that will both put food on the table and bring you a sense of satisfaction and self-worth. While you are still young and doesn’t have a family yet, you can explore on various paths and choose what gives you peace.
- Family. They are our deepest why. They are the reason why we want to work so hard, they give us this immense sense of happiness when we get to be able to give something to them.
- Peers. It will be nice to explore different career path with your friends because knowing that you will enter the corporate jungle together, means you somehow feel a little safer. But this can be dangerous when your peers hurdle your growth. It is always good to expand our horizons.
- Media. The media portrays a different definition of success. Do not be swayed by what the media portrays. Always follow your conscience and your heart.
- Socio-economic status. Life is unfair and we have to accept it that way. Some people are born with golden spoons in their mouth, some of us only bank on dedication, hard work and prayers to get to the career that we want to.
