What difficulties are you facing in choosing

a career?

Almost every school leaver is confronted with a very

important question that is nearly impossible to answer:

The question of what to do next As for me, I was bugged

by my plans for the future from the very moment I finished

my last examinations In addition, there is also the

question of passing time during the few months of waiting

for my results During this time, I had a choice of enjoying

myself or looking for a temporary job or even taking up an

interesting course, I did all three of them Unfortunately I

was not successful in getting to a university, so I had to

enter the job market

I had always desired to take up teaching as a career First

of all I love children Secondly I believe teachers are

important people as they groom the citizens of tomorrow

As I grew older my exposure to the outside world has

made me believe that there are many other careers that

could interest me I believe that I am facing the problem or

psychological changes that any teenager would be facing

during the period from childhood to adulthood

I tried relief teaching during my holidays in search of the

teaching career The experience I had was valuable as I

managed to grasp the duties, responsibilities and

challenges of a teacher I discovered my lack of working

experience Since I gathered quite a lot of information from

the short period of teaching, I decided that I could choose

any career by working on a temporary basis The

successful stories of how some people started off doing

only odd jobs in beginning spurred me on However this

does not seem possible in the present gloomy economic

situation I also face of another problem where employers

are not too keen in employing job hoppers like me

My third problem concerns professional skills For instance

a secretary or computer programmer requires a certain

level of knowledge in the field of typing, filing, shorthand

and computer programming These prerequisites can only

be achieved through comprehensive courses My concern

is over which I should acquire and discover the abilities

inherent in me

These are the problems I face in choosing a career like

other school leavers I believe parents play an important

role in choosing a career by allowing the children to

expose themselves to part-time jobs This way they can

narrow down their career choices more easily Seminars,

talks or discussions on careers can also help
