Often in life, especially when choosing a major or graduating from university, people become confused as to which career path they should choose. Some people just “go with the flow”; they pursue a career in whichever field is most popular at that time. Others take more time in contemplating their possibilities and choose accordingly.
It is worthwhile to mention here the difference between a career and a job. A job is a smaller part of a career. A job is not necessarily relevant to your career; it can be temporary or permanent depending upon circumstances. A career, on the other hand, is relatively more permanent. It outlines the whole direction of your professional life and which field you want to stay and excel in. Long-term decisions should be more carefully planned, which means that choosing a career path is an important choice in one’s life that requires a lot of thought.
