6 Thing To Look At Before Choosing A Profession

No doubt that there would be a great number of factors that influences you to choose a career or profession.

First, let us get the meaning of profession. Profession according to Wikipedia is a vocation founded upon specialized educational training. The purpose of which is to supply disinterested objective counsel and service to others, for a direct and definite compensation of other business gain.

Of a truth, most people have missed the track as a result of misleading guidance and counseling. Schools no longer care for students as relating to what they truly desire to study. Parents are the worst issue to mention-“go to school, read well and pass”-what we hear from parents.

But there is more to it: children should be properly guided in choosing a career that would not affect them in the future or regret of it.  One career is a long term commitment which when not properly chosen poses great effect on the person.

Choosing a profession is not as easy as many people think it is. I know you wouldn't want to go for a profession that you will regret after.

Today I come up with what you ought to consider before choosing a profession.

Your Interest

You became a teacher as a result of the rising need for teaching work and you well know that teaching has never been in your interest probably you dislike children and their noise. I tell in no time you would start relapsing along the line and one day drop the chalk before your employer and remain jobless or take to the street looking for a job.

Or you are the type that hates argument then you can’t become a lawyer but if you are really good at mathematics then a profession in science or any related finance could be good for you. Don’t go for what you don’t have interest at- it kills.

It is really important to ponder on things that interest you in terms of work. Start by considering the things you do well and start working on it.

 Your Passion

Passion I can say is a driving force that keeps one going despite the odds on the way. Most people take a profession because of the money involved, benefits derived, job security and the likes. Aside all these, take a profession for what you want to render and not what you want to take. The saying goes, “if you follow your passion, the money will follow”. Go for what you are passionate about and you will see yourself getting the best.

Education Requirements

For one to attain a desires profession you have reached a certain degree or experience before you can be fit to work in that profession.

Some professions are expensive to attain like law, medicine etc and when you are not financially strong, you can’t be able to get to the peak of it.

Ensure to choose a profession that would be within your reach in terms of finance to avoid failure in the near future.

Job Availability

This is a least factor per say that determines what profession you should go into, but thanks to the advancement in technology that have been able to make work easier be it within or without.

But this point can’t be left out, “you can’t get a bird where there is no bird” what am I trying to eulogize here? You don’t expect to get a particular job when companies or organizations offering that job are not in your locality-that would definitely call for migration which in some cases might not be possible.

Look out and be on the watch for jobs that can be easily given after your schooling.

Health Condition

This is very important to consider. Your health matters a lot and not the job or profession. Some health conditions require that you do not go into what will cause more challenge to the body. If you are faced with one health challenge then you should have a thought on the profession that you have a fore chosen. Be  in health and keep working or keep working and keep degenerating In health-chose one.

Stability of the Job

This happens to be the final one on my list. When looking out to work for a company or a big organization, it is pertinent to make research on that particular company. Is it always at the risk of going extinct? Is it in the habit of retrenching workers? Are the managements stable? Do they have good repute over the years? How well do they manage their employees? How well and quick are they able to adjust to economic change?

When all these research are gathered then you should be able to know where you stand.
