Family, health, and works are the three essential and meaningful aspects of life. Choosing what you want to do is the most significant decision that requires attention and research. Did you decide to be who you are today?
Regretfully, in many parts of the world, stigmas and gender objectification related to careers are set by societies. In most Middle Eastern countries, females are pressured to become teachers or doctors, while males are instructed to be engineers. Those days are gone when students enrolled in medical or engineering were defined to be sharp and brilliant.
The 21st century promotes young artists, musicians, writers, sports, and other professions to make it their professional careers rather than a side hobby. Yet, some parents still believe these fields are a waste of time.
But do you think forcing an individual to choose a path they don’t want to pursue is the right thing to do?
Career Must Interest the Individual
Choosing the career you are passionate about is the best decision ever. Parents, teachers, and elders must appreciate and encourage children to explore, discover, and improve their interests and do what they want to do. Any career can help you earn more, but what makes you happy is what you live for.
Prevent Getting into Pressure
Every individual has a distinct personality. While some people are competitive, few are not. There are many cases where teenagers commit suicide due to immense pressure related to the career choices made for them. When non-competitive individuals are forced to opt for a career path they are least interested in, it adversely affects their mental health. Failing, again and again, can cause severe mishaps and demotivation.
Be who you are, and don’t be afraid of choosing what you desire. Life is short, and doing what makes you happy is right.
Choosing the wrong career can waste time, cost, and happiness.
A wrong career path leads to no good but makes you dissatisfied and dejected. It wastes the time you invest, the efforts and energy you put in, and squanders you financially. The uninterested candidate might give up a career in between, which will eventually do no good. Many celebrities, sportspeople, and athletes are school dropouts but still are managing to make billions.
The character of Dash in More Than Just a Game by Richard E Shaw portrays that choosing the career of your choice is a lot of drudgery, but the results are incredible. Always go for what you love to do, and the tables will turn to your side with time. Be patient and consistent.
