Choosing the Best Career for You
by Curraru Ricas

Many high school and even some college graduates are still
asking themselves "What is the best career choice for me?"
They have spent the majority of their lives up to this point
taking classes and studying different subjects and career
fields. There are literally thousands of potential career
possibilities out there for any individual. The trick is to
match the career with the person and their strengths,
weaknesses, personality traits, and life's ambitions.

Perhaps you've had the long-time aspiration to be a doctor,
ever since you can remember. Or maybe you've dreamt of
arguing court cases as a lawyer. Or perhaps you have
always wanted to be a professional tennis player. Whatever
interests you, there's likely a career to suit you to a
tee.

Generally speaking, most careers require some kind of
training or education beyond high school. One of the
options that available is college or university. You can
choose from a 2 or 4 year school. Along with courses
related directly to your career choice you will also be
required to take a certain number of "general education"
classes in subjects like math, language arts, and philosophy
among others. You can also go to a technical college that
specializes in a specific career field like legal assisting
or even bartending. There are even colleges and
universities that offer online courses and degrees.

Since a college degree helps tremendously in getting the
better jobs and thus higher pay, choosing one's career and
which college to attend should be a carefully thought out
process. For someone who wants to become an artist, they
should pursue a degree from a school specializing in art.
For someone who wants to become a radio broadcaster, they
should pursue a degree from a school specializing in
broadcast journalism.

When you are considering your future career it is a good
idea to set goals and to be aware of your strengths and
desires. Many schools offer aptitude tests and interest
surveys to help you narrow down your choices. Think about
where you see yourself 5, 10, 15, 20, and more years down
the road. Does the career you have chosen allow for you to
grow and progress with technology and other advances? How
long do you see yourself staying in your chosen career? Are
the classes and other training that you will need for your
career of interest to you? If you decide that you don't
want to stay in that career forever, what is your "backup"
or secondary plan?

So, whether you decide to become a pediatric nurse, a
building contractor, or a professional chef, you need to
find something that will make you happy. You may decide
10 years down the road that you want a different career, but
the experiences you have now will be a foundation for that
future career as well.

This is your choice. No one else can or should make this
decision for you. But, you can take advantage of all of the
resources out there to help you. You will find a path to
your future.
