Every year thousands of you young men and women, are leaving school or college with the sole object of starting your working careers. The biggest problem that you face is, choosing a career that you truly love, and enjoy. Unless you find an occupation that you love, and are enthusiastic about, you are on a never ending treadmill going nowhere, so the following points must be taken into consideration.
1) 80 percent of you will not find true job
satisfaction and will drift from one job to
another never finding true happiness.
2) Many of you will not realize that your choice of
career will leave you counting the days until you
can escape to try somewhere else.
3) Many of you will be pushed into careers by your
parents that you hate and leave you dead and empty
inside causing you to become frustrated.
4) Because of the frustration you will grow to hate
your career and everything or anybody associated
with it.
5) 90 per cent of you will not consider your long
term future with regard to pensions or critical
illness until it is to late.
There are a great many things to think about and take
into consideration when choosing your career:
A) Your Environment, Where would you like to work
indoors or outdoors, in an office, shop, factory,
hospital or traveling?
B) Your Duties, Do you like driving, helping people,
looking after animals, taking care of the sick, a
career with excitement as in the fire brigade or
police? Do you mind getting your hands or cloths
dirty?
C) Your Hours, Do you want to work office hours 9 to
5 Monday to Friday, shift patterns of days and
nights, do you mind overtime working seven days a
week. Will your choice effect your social life by
having to go to work when your friends are out
clubbing enjoying themselves?
D) Ambition, How far do you want to go in your
career, do you want to reach the top. What is
required for you to achieve your goal, what
qualifications do you need?
C) Dress Code, do you like the idea of wearing a
uniform, do you like dressing smartly for work or
you would rather be in overalls, hands on?
D) Your Mind, do you want a career that will always be
stimulating your mind, sending you new challenges
every day, are you keen to learn new techniques to
broaden your outlook on life?
There are other things to take into consideration,
such as obtaining an interview to start your career,
the interview itself and the chances of your success.
Being successful at your interview there other things
to consider such as medical aid, injuries both on duty
and off duty, pensions schemes, holidays both
statutory and annual leave, maternity leave to name
but a few.
