How to find a Suitable Career Path

Hello Friends,

"You are the Creator ; You have always been & will always be in complete control of your Fate & Destiny"

Today I am going to touch a very important topic "How to select a right career"

In India, it has been a trend that parents choose what their children will become in the future even before these children are born (most of the time it's rather Doctor or Engineer, CA or Lawyer) and even these career options are based on only what the society or parents feel would be an high earning job because the said career option gives a stable career and high remunerations. 

The problem is not on their thinking or expectations, the problem is that actually  they don't know what they are expecting their kid to be like, whether he/she will like it or not. The thing is everything and every good scope changes with time, an option which was at the peak 10 years ago is not certainly good today as well. The only thing that is inevitable is change and thus a good career option also changes with time.

After an intense research, I found out that only a high paying job is not the definition of a happy & successful career but it has few other associated factors too:-

1. Interest: Every human being is different and Unique, even the almighty or the creator has made every one different from another. As every person is different so are their interests. 

There is always something that fascinates us more than anything else in the world say it playing games or travelling, talking or reading. This fascination that if we keep on working on that throughout the day or month or year, we don't get tired is called "Interest" and this interest should be a vital ingredient when selecting a career. Career should come out from the thing that fascinates us. "The only thing that will keep you pursuing on what ever you do even at the bad times is your Love for that thing."

2. Aptitude: Every one is born with a different aptitude. Attributes like Numerical ability,  proficiency in Languages, Creativity, understanding ability & How we think in a situation or react at different circumstances  make our Aptitude. Every career requires a different set of skills and aptitude, and thus we need to think whether our interest is aligning with aptitude or not.

3. Personality: The word "Personality" is a very broad term, people misjudge it with the way one looks or the clothes they have in their wardrobe, but it is much more than this "A Personality is a beautiful sum up of how we dress ourselves to how we talk, how we treat others to how we behave in odd situations. Confidence, Attitude & Reaction comprises the word personality".

4. Academics: This is the most important factor, everything revolves down what your academic score is but not completely. Academics on my view is just a filtration on future goals, like marks of class 10th filters an individual student that what subject he is going to get in 11th and thus this creates a base of further education; similarly marks of 12th and few competitive exams mark filters on whether a student is getting the institution he/she desires and the branch or course they would like to pursue. 

5. Affordability: Though this is a part which should not be considered, but as approaching to every avenues includes the investment in learning and this investment varies as per the choice of career therefore this becomes very important point. This could be from few thousands to various lakhs depending on the profession and colleges. 

Selecting a right way to your bright career depends on all these five major factors
