So many factors are closely associated with choosing the best options in life-related to our career. Selecting a suitable profession is the best ever decision in life because a major part of ‘life success’ comes out of professional achievements.

 

It is quite normal of getting anxious about the career point during the stage of a middle or late adolescent. There are a lot of options that make the youngster get confused. Moreover, the pressure from parents or the elders in the family adds more tension with regard to choosing the best option for a career. Many occasions the individual preferences and personality are completely forgotten while the important options are made and resulted in great challenges and difficulties in future.

 

Factors responsible for selecting the career for an individual:

·           Family members mainly parents and elders: Parents and elders in the family are so concerned about their children. Especially in the Indian scenario, major decisions in children’s life is made by them.

·           Social status: Choosing a profession is considered as a symbol of social status. Hence some are forced to opt with imitations.

·           Economic provisions: Economical factor is a major concern. Without economical security, no solid decisions can be taken.

·           Individual preferences: Individual preferences include self-interests and goals. When a person has a high level of self-interest the rate of achievement is positively correlated.

·           Available resources: Limited availability of resources forced an individual to satisfy with the options lower than his or her aspirations. 

 

The profession is closely associated with the social life of an individual. Always finding the right profession is a blessing. Professional options should be made based on the individual factors not by comparing anyone else or forced by someone. Self-interest is the personalized factor which is closely associated with the individual to make the right choice. Mostly the professions are chosen based on the economical advantage in the later stage of life. All should know the fact that not all professions may suit for everyone. More than the economical advantage or security there are other factors involved being successful in a profession.

 

Scientific advancements and Technology brings a lot of career options. But the over information makes confusing too. Previous generations were having limited options and it was quite easy for them to choose their career and stick on with that. Nowadays the overly available options make the individual to choose the best option without 100% acceptance. There is always a second thought whether the option is right or another could have been better. This attitude even results in changing the career in between.

 

Passion and Profession:

Every one of us has our own passion. Unfortunately, we are forced to sacrifice our passion for the sake of professional life. The profession always demands our mental and physical skills and a lot of time needs to be spent on that. Hence the passion may not be able to get the importance. The fact is whoever blessed with the passion as their profession may reach a peak in terms of achievement. Not all got the chance of turning their passion into profession. Others should learn the technique of balance their passion with profession. 

It is a fact that not all get an opportunity to turn their passion into a profession. There is no need of going into a negative mode. Try to practice your professional obligations wholeheartedly. Any point of time there will be a chance to express your passion and build your career. When the chance comes across to grab it. Try to develop a ‘never give up’ attitude. One day there will be a possibility of getting noticed for your passion. 

 

How to choose your career?

·           Identify your interests and strengths. Analyze the skills needed for the profession you aimed for. In case of having the required skills then that profession can be selected. 

·           Not only make the economical security in the future as a criterion to choose the profession. Maybe in the initial stages of professional life, one may get success but in the mid-age or later stage, it is difficult to sustain.

·           Try to gather and gain maximum knowledge about the professions in your options. Maximum knowledge minimizes the chances of wrongly selecting the career.

·           Be strong in your decisions. It is always a human tendency to look back or look into other options and get confused with we already made decisions.

·           Never compare or consider another person’s options. In fact, he or she is a completely different person than you. 

 

There is a common phrase: “Right person in a Right place”. Making the right choices always get us joy and satisfaction in life. When the right option is made to choose the profession the success follows. Otherwise, professional life would be more challengeable. Of course, all professions are demanding and challenging. Right options always make you overcome the challenges with success.
