Choosing a career path

Letter November 02, 2018
Choosing a career is indeed an important decision of one’s life

LAHORE: Career is a very important part of everyone’s life. People who build good career for their life secure their future by investing in means to have better future prospects. Career is mostly associated with one’s professional life and their success graph.

Choosing a career is indeed an important decision of one’s life. Usually students wait for their school to end so that they have a clearer picture of what they want to do. However, students should try to figure out what interests them the most early in their lives and ideally during their school time. Parents too often influence their child’s decisions about career and academic programmes they can opt for. But, when we are in colleges and universities we have a responsibility to take decision about our career.

The internet has made it much easier for us to explore the available options locally and internationally. We must be very careful while choosing our career path as it defines where we are likely to end up working in the future.
