Now let us go into the post outline for this topic,
I hope you are reading attentively because this is where you will know how to
choose a career/course.
THE
UNNECESSARY THINGS NOT TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A CAREER/COURSE.
The
Career/Course is Lucrative: Choosing a career/course because
it is lucrative is a bad start for you. Please don't get me wrong, i
didn't say it is wrong to choose a lucrative career/course but all I'm saying
is that choosing a course "just" because it is very lucrative in
which you don't have passion for, is wrong. For instance, a
student who is not good in Physics and Mathematics because of How Lucrative
Engineering Jobs are he Opt in for Petroleum Engineering, That why you see most
People writing Jamb Up to 5 time without success in admission. Be wise!!!
The
Career is Popular: Alot of students nowadays prefer to
choose popular courses like medicine and surgery or law simply because it is a
popular course. The truth is that there are alot of doctors regretting
why they opted in for medicine and surgery, and this only happen when you
choose a career/course for the wrong reasons other than having passion for the
career/course. Courses like biochemistry, microbiology etc are very good
courses to choose, why waste your time pursuing medicine and surgery that is
always highly competitive. Choose a career/course because you have
passion and knowledge about it and not because it is popular.
Family
influence : I have seen families dictates for their
children the kind of course they want them to study. Most times, they
will want their children to study the course they studied in school or popular
courses like medicine and surgery or law or banking and finance. This kind of
situation can be so frustrating because i have once experience it , but how did
i solve the problem? I had to sit my parents down and tell them that the course
they want me to study is my weakness, that i will fail woefully in that course.
Pour your mind out to them, make them see reasons why you can't
study the course. Take a decision today that will make you happy tomorrow
because your family won't be there for you forever.
Know your strength and weakness: Most students have
their strengths and weaknesses one way or the other. It is rare for a
student to be good in all areas. For instance, you might be good in
mathematics (strength) and be finding biology very difficult (weakness).
THE
NECESSARY THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A CAREER/COURSE.
Your
best subject: This also plays a vital role when
choosing your course/career. For instance, if your best subjects are physics
and mathematics, then you should focus on courses based on those two
subjects like engineering course. Knowing your best subject will restrict you
from choosing courses that are not relevant, for instance, a student that love
mathematics and physics but detest biology and chemistry should know that
he/she should remove courses like medicine and surgery from the option when
choosing a course/career.
Your
goals: I expect every average student to have a goal, i
mean a life plan. You should find time to ask yourself what you really
want to be in future, you can also seek advice from your parents or professional
in different field , by doing this, you will garner more knowledge about
the course/career you really want to study.
Your
passion: The whole list will be incomplete with this,
passion. Choosing a course/career must be based on your passion. Ask
yourself this questions; do I really want this course? Do I have any
skills related to this course? Give an answer to these questions and you will
be good to go. Everything is all about passion because you will easily
get frustrated if you choose a course/career you don't have passion for.
Check yourself!!!
