As a result, many choose the wrong career path that is detrimental to their future. Before delving into any career, there are certain factors that you must consider in order to make the right career choice. Compiled in this discuss are four deadly career choices you will never want to choose if you are in your right senses.
1. Non lucrative career: One career choice you do not want to go into is the one that
lacks lucrativeness. There are few careers out there which I know will never
fall off the line, but still they will only earn you a peanut at the end each
month. Everyone wants to live on their dreams (You surely want to drive your
dream car and have your own house). This is exactly why you work 24 hours each
day. But at the end if those dream of yours fails to come into reality, then
life does not worth it. Choosing a career that is not productive will never
help you reach your dreams. A factor that will deprive you of reaching your
goal is a set back you want out of your way right?— If you hope for a bright
and successful future, then I dare you to rule out any career that is not
lucrative from your check list. Without doing that, your dream of success is
just a fallacy.
2. A career declining in the labor market. The soul purpose of any career climber is to secure a
lasting job at the end. No one derives pleasure from striving after the wind.
Notwithstanding, One out of all those striving after the wind knows that they
are doing so. Since the labor market is not stationary, it will be wise for you
to consider the present status of the occupation you aspire, in the labor
market. This will enable you to avoid choosing a career (occupation) that has
declined or will decline in the labor market sometime soon.
3. A career not related to your ability: Many people make a career choice not because it is
what they can do better nor what they really want, but because it’s what their
friends, relatives and the famous people they have heard of are into. The
biggest mistake you can make in life is to choose a career that does not relate
to your natural talent. Choosing a career is the foundation of life because it
determines how your future will be. An adage says: As you make your bed, so
will you lie on it. Everyone has natural talents, but discovering and nurturing
them is what counts. Choosing your career according to your natural abilities
will guarantee you success and satisfaction in future. Doing otherwise will
only live your future in jeopardy.
4. Choosing a career you do not have passion for. You know what you love, you also know
what you will enjoy doing best. Then doing something else will never give you
the joy you wish for yourself, you are just cheating on your own self. Consider
the experience of a man named Caleb. When he was a boy he had a friend who
sailed with him through his nursery and primary education level. On getting to
collage his friend joined science department. For the sake of not breaking the
bond of friendship he has with his friend Caleb also leaped into science. After
their first two years in collage, Caleb’s grade began to drop drastically. But
his friend kept improving. One of his school teacher approached him to know why
he was no longer doing well in his school activities but he never saw any reason
behind his dilemma. The teacher encouraged him to study hard or swap to Art since
he is finding it hard to cope in Science. But he objected because he never
wanted to part with his friend. Years later Caleb and his friend graduated from
collage as science students and went to high school. They both struggled in high
school and also graduated as medical Doctors. But something was missing Caleb
has never dreamt of becoming a medical doctor… To Cut the long story short,
after working in the hospital for some years Caleb decided to quite because he
never enjoyed working as a medical doctor, so with the little money he
gathered, he opened a hardware shop and that is how a medical doctor ended up
as a trader.
Final words: We have wondered over the bitter
paths of making a career choice. The four factors discussed in this article
must be at the back of your mind as you go about making your choice of career.
Also the experience of Caleb has so many lessons for you to consume. I hope you
choose a career that will bring you joy and satisfaction in life.
